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

Translation elongation factor EF1A delivers aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome in a GTP-bound form, and is released from the ribosome in a GDP-bound form. This association/dissociation cycle proceeds efficiently via a marked conformational change in EF1A. EF1A function is dependent on the ribosomal "stalk" protein of the ribosomal large subunit, although the precise mechanism of action of the stalk on EF1A remains unclear. Here, we clarify the binding mode of archaeal stalk aP1 to GTP-bound aEF1A associated with aPelota. Intriguingly, the C-terminal domain (CTD) of aP1 binds to aEF1A•GTP with a similar affinity to aEF1A•GDP. We have also determined the crystal structure of the aP1-CTD•aEF1A•GTP•aPelota complex at 3.0 Å resolution. The structure shows that aP1-CTD binds to a space between domains 1 and 3 of aEF1A. Biochemical analyses show that this binding is crucial for protein synthesis. Comparison of the structures of aP1-CTD•aEF1A•GTP and aP1-CTD•aEF1A•GDP demonstrates that the binding mode of aP1 changes markedly upon a conformational switch between the GTP- and GDP-bound forms of aEF1A. Taking into account biochemical data, we infer that aP1 employs its structural flexibility to bind to aEF1A before and after GTP hydrolysis for efficient protein synthesis.
