1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vif hijacks an E3 ligase to suppress natural APOBEC3 restriction factors, and core binding factor β (CBF-β) is required for this process. Although an extensive region of Vif spanning most of its N-terminus is known to be critical for binding with CBF-β, involvement of the Vif C-terminus in the interaction with CBF-β has not been fully investigated.

resultsHere, through immunoprecipitation analysis of Vif C-terminal truncated mutants of various lengths, we identified that CBF-β binding requires not only certain amino acids (G126A, E134A, Y135A and G138A) in the HCCH region but also the HCCH motif itself, which also affects the Vif-mediated suppression of APOBEC3G/APOBEC3F (A3G/A3F). These mutants still maintained interactions with substrate A3G or A3F as well as other cellular factors ElonginB/C (ELOB/C), indicating that their structures were not functionally affected. Moreover, by determining that the BC box also is necessary for CBF-β interaction in vivo, we speculate that binding to ELOB/C induces conformational changes in Vif, facilitating its interaction with CBF-β and consequent interaction with CUL5.

conclusionsThese results provide important information on the assembly of the Vif-CUL5-E3 ubiquitin ligase. Identification of the new binding interface with CBF-β at the C-terminus of HIV-1 Vif also provides novel targets for the development of HIV-1 inhibitors.
