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 Shu complex, a conserved regulator consisting of Csm2, Psy3, Shu1 and Shu2 in budding yeast, plays an important role in the assembly of the Rad51-ssDNA filament in homologous recombination. However, the molecular basis for the assembly of the Shu complex and its functional role in DNA repair is still elusive. Here, we report the crystal structure of the yeast Shu complex, revealing that Csm2, Psy3, Shu1 and Shu2 interact with each other in sequence to form a V-shape overall structure. Shu1 adopts a structure resembling the ATPase core domain of Rad51 and represents a new Rad51 paralog. Shu2 assumes a novel structural fold consisting of a conserved zinc-finger containing SWIM domain and a small insertion domain. The functional roles of the key residues are validated using mutagenesis and in vitro pull-down and in vivo yeast growth studies. Structural analysis together with available biological data identifies two potential DNA-binding sites, one of which might be responsible for binding the ssDNA region of the 3'-overhang DNA and the other for the dsDNA region. Collectively, these findings reveal the molecular basis for the assembly of the Shu complex and shed new insight on its functional role in homologous recombination.
