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

The PsbP protein is an extrinsic subunit of photosystem II (PSII) specifically developed in green-plant species including land plants and green algae. The protein-protein interactions involving PsbP and its effect on oxygen evolution have been investigated in vitro using isolated PSII membranes. However, the importance of those interactions needs to be examined at the cellular level. To this end, we developed a system expressing exogenous PsbP in the background of the Chlamydomonas BF25 mutant lacking native PsbP. Expression of His-tagged PsbP successfully restored the oxygen-evolving activity and photoautotrophic growth of the mutant, while PsbP-∆15 lacking the N-terminal 15 residues, which are crucial for the oxygen-evolving activity of spinach PSII in vitro, only partially did. This demonstrated the importance of N-terminal sequence of PsbP for the photosynthetic activity in vivo. Furthermore, the PSII-LHCII supercomplex can be specifically purified from the Chlamydomonas cells having His-tagged PsbP using a metal affinity chromatography. This study provides a platform not only for the functional analysis of PsbP in vivo but also for structural analysis of the PSII-LHCII supercomplex from green algae.
