Bacterial PprI-DdrO system evolved from ImmA-ImmR system in the prophage.
Article in Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Organisms have evolved various response systems to cope with DNA damage, such as the PprI-DdrO system and the ImmA-ImmR system, which mediate the transcription of DNA damage response genes or facilitate the transfer of DNA elements upon sensing DNA damage. The two systems are functionally analogous, and their metalloproteases and regulators are each classified into the same respective protein families, indicating an evolutionary relationship between them. In this article, we analyzed the homology and evolutionary relationship between the ImmA-ImmR and PprI-DdrO. Significant similarities among these proteins were observed through sequence and structure alignments, and the functional association of these protein pairs was confirmed by in silico and biochemical experiments. Furthermore, we revealed a series of protein pairs resembling PprI-DdrO across various species, including ImmA-ImmR from Deinococcus phage elements. Through phylogenetic analysis, we found that these ImmA-ImmR systems share the same major clade with PprI-DdrO. These results revealed a significant association between the PprI-DdrO and ImmA-ImmR systems, inferring that the PprI-DdrO system originated from the ImmA-ImmR system within prophage elements.
