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

Polo-like kinases (Plks) are key cell cycle regulators. They contain a kinase domain followed by a polo-box domain that recognizes phosphorylated substrates and enhances their phosphorylation. The regulatory subunit of the Dbf4-dependent kinase complex interacts with the polo-box domain of Cdc5 (the sole Plk in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in a phosphorylation-independent manner. We have solved the crystal structures of the polo-box domain of Cdc5 on its own and in the presence of peptides derived from Dbf4 and a canonical phosphorylated substrate. The structure bound to the Dbf4-peptide reveals an additional density on the surface opposite to the phospho-peptide binding site that allowed us to propose a model for the interaction. We found that the two peptides can bind simultaneously and non-competitively to the polo-box domain in solution. Furthermore, point mutations on the surface opposite to the phosphopeptide binding site of the polo-box domain disrupt the interaction with the Dbf4 peptide in solution and cause an early anaphase arrest phenotype distinct from the mitotic exit defect typically observed in cdc5 mutants. Collectively, our data illustrates the importance of non-canonical interactions mediated by the polo-box domain and provide key mechanistic insights into the combinatorial recognition of substrates by Polo-like kinases.
