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

Initiation of bacterial translation requires that the ribosome-binding site in mRNAs adopts single-stranded conformations. In Gram-negative bacteria the ribosomal protein S1 (rS1) is a key player in resolving of structured elements in mRNAs. However, the exact mechanism of how rS1 unfolds persistent secondary structures in the translation initiation region (TIR) is still unknown. Here, we show by NMR spectroscopy that Vibrio vulnificus rS1 displays a unique architecture of its mRNA-binding domains, where domains D3 and D4 provide the mRNA-binding platform and cover the nucleotide binding length of the full-length rS1. D5 significantly increases rS1's chaperone activity, although it displays structural heterogeneity both in isolation and in presence of the other domains, albeit to varying degrees. The heterogeneity is induced by the switch between the two equilibrium conformations and is triggered by an order-to-order transition of two mutually exclusive secondary structures (β-strand-to-α-helix) of the 'AERERI' sequence. The conformational switching is exploited for melting of structured 5'-UTR's, as the conformational heterogeneity of D5 can compensate the entropic penalty of complex formation. Our data thus provides a detailed understanding of the intricate coupling of protein and RNA folding dynamics enabling translation initiation of structured mRNAs.
