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

When vertebrate replisomes from neighboring origins converge, the Mcm7 subunit of the replicative helicase, CMG, is ubiquitylated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase, CRL2Lrr1. Polyubiquitylated CMG is then disassembled by the p97 ATPase, leading to replication termination. To avoid premature replisome disassembly, CRL2Lrr1 is only recruited to CMGs after they converge, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine structures of recombinant Xenopus laevis CRL2Lrr1 with and without neddylation. The structures reveal that CRL2Lrr1 adopts an unusually open architecture, in which the putative substrate-recognition subunit, Lrr1, is located far from the catalytic module that catalyzes ubiquitin transfer. We further demonstrate that a predicted, flexible pleckstrin homology domain at the N-terminus of Lrr1 is essential to target CRL2Lrr1 to terminated CMGs. We propose a hypothetical model that explains how CRL2Lrr1's catalytic module is positioned next to the ubiquitylation site on Mcm7, and why CRL2Lrr1 binds CMG only after replisomes converge.
