A coiled-coil domain triggers oligomerization of MmpL10, the mycobacterial transporter of trehalose polyphleate precursor.

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
The mycobacterial outer membrane is composed of unusual lipids and glycolipids. Some of these lipids are exported to the cell envelope by resistance-nodulation-division (RND) transporters called mycobacterial membrane protein large (MmpL). While the oligomeric state of most RND transporters is well established, MmpL assembly remains unclear. Here, we investigated MmpL10, the trehalose polyphleate transporter. Biochemical data suggest that MmpL10 forms a homotrimer and that its oligomerization is driven by a coiled-coil domain. Structural modeling and electron microscopy data reveal the presence of a tubular extension that spans the mycobacterial cell wall and reaches the mycomembrane. As most MmpL proteins possess this extension, oligomerization may be a common feature of this family of transporters, possibly involved in the transport of the MmpL cargo.
