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

The 70 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are highly versatile molecular chaperones that assist in a wide variety of protein-folding processes. They exert their functions by continuously cycling between states of low and high affinity for client polypeptides, driven by ATP-binding and hydrolysis. This cycling is tuned by cochaperones and clients. Although structures for the high and low client affinity conformations of Hsp70 and Hsp70 domains in complex with various cochaperones and peptide clients are available, it is unclear how structural rearrangements in the presence of cochaperones and clients are orchestrated in space and time. Here, we report insights into the conformational dynamics of the prokaryotic model Hsp70 DnaK throughout its adenosine-5'-triphosphate hydrolysis (ATPase) cycle using proximity-induced fluorescence quenching. Our data suggest that ATP and cochaperone-induced structural rearrangements in DnaK occur in a sequential manner and resolve hitherto unpredicted cochaperone and client-induced structural rearrangements. Peptides induce large conformational changes in DnaK·ATP prior to ATP hydrolysis, whereas a protein client induces significantly smaller changes but is much more effective in stimulating ATP hydrolysis. Analysis of the enthalpies of activation for the ATP-induced opening of the DnaK lid in the presence of clients indicates that the lid does not exert an enthalpic pulling force onto bound clients, suggesting entropic pulling as a major mechanism for client unfolding. Our data reveal important insights into the mechanics, allostery, and dynamics of Hsp70 chaperones. We established a methodology for understanding the link between dynamics and function, Hsp70 diversity, and activity modulation.
