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

Bacteriophage ϕ29 DNA polymerase has two activities: DNA polymerization and 3'-5' exonucleolysis governed by catalytic sites present in two structurally distant domains. These domains must work together to allow the correct replication of the template and to prevent the accumulation of errors in the newly synthesized DNA strand. ϕ29 DNA polymerase is endowed with a high processivity and strand displacement capacity together with a high fidelity. Previous studies of its crystallographic structure suggested possible interactions of residues of the exonuclease domain like the Gln180 with the fingers subdomain, or water mediated and direct hydrogen bond by the polar groups of residues Tyr101 and Thr189 that could stabilize DNA binding. To analyse their functional importance for the exonuclease activity of ϕ29 DNA polymerase we engineered mutations to encode amino acid substitutions. Our results confirm that both residues, Tyr101 and Thr189 are involved in the 3'-5' exonuclease activity and in binding the dsDNA. In addition, Tyr101 is playing a role in processivity and Thr189 is an important determinant in the fidelity of the DNA polymerase. On the other hand, the biochemical characterization of the mutant derivatives of residue Gln180 showed how the mutations introduced enhanced the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of the enzyme. A potential structural conformation prone to degrade the substrate is discussed.
