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

Rev1-Polζ-dependent translesion synthesis (TLS) of DNA is crucial for maintaining genome integrity. To elucidate the mechanism by which the two polymerases cooperate in TLS, we determined the cryogenic electron microscopic structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rev1-Polζ holocomplex in the act of DNA synthesis (3.53 Å). We discovered that a composite N-helix-BRCT module in Rev1 is the keystone of Rev1-Polζ cooperativity, interacting directly with the DNA template-primer and with the Rev3 catalytic subunit of Polζ. The module is positioned akin to the polymerase-associated domain in Y-family TLS polymerases and is set ideally to interact with PCNA. We delineate the full extent of interactions that the carboxy-terminal domain of Rev1 makes with Polζ and identify potential new druggable sites to suppress chemoresistance from first-line chemotherapeutics. Collectively, our results provide fundamental new insights into the mechanism of cooperativity between Rev1 and Polζ in TLS.
