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

It is well known that the DNA-binding specificity of transcription factors (TFs) is influenced by protein-protein interactions (PPIs). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this work, we adopted the cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) TF family as a model system, and a workflow of combined bioinformatics and molecular modeling analysis of protein-DNA interaction was tested. First, the multiple sequence alignment and SDPsite method were used to find potential bZIP family binding specificity determining positions (SDPs) within the protein-protein interaction region. Second, the mutation system was analyzed using molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA) free energy calculations confirmed the enhancement of the binding affinity of the mutation, which was in agreement with experimental results. The root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and hydrogen bonding changes suggested an open and close protein dimerization process after the system was mutated, which resulted in the change of the hydrogen bonding of the protein-DNA interface and a slight conformational change. We believe that this work will contribute to understanding the protein-protein interaction-regulated binding specificity of bZIP transcription factors.
