Cryo-EM structures of Smc5/6 in multiple states reveal its assembly and functional mechanisms.
Article in Nature structural & molecular biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Smc5/6 is a member of the eukaryotic structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family of complexes with important roles in genome maintenance and viral restriction. However, limited structural understanding of Smc5/6 hinders the elucidation of its diverse functions. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of the budding yeast Smc5/6 complex in eight-subunit, six-subunit and five-subunit states. Structural maps throughout the entire length of these complexes reveal modularity and key elements in complex assembly. We show that the non-SMC element (Nse)2 subunit supports the overall shape of the complex and uses a wedge motif to aid the stability and function of the complex. The Nse6 subunit features a flexible hook region for attachment to the Smc5 and Smc6 arm regions, contributing to the DNA repair roles of the complex. Our results also suggest a structural basis for the opposite effects of the Nse1-3-4 and Nse5-6 subcomplexes in regulating Smc5/6 ATPase activity. Collectively, our integrated structural and functional data provide a framework for understanding Smc5/6 assembly and function.
