Molecular basis of tRNA aminocarboxypropyl-transferase TapT for substrate recognition.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl) uridine (acp3U) is a highly conserved modification found in variable- and D-loops of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in bacteria and eukarya. TapT has been identified as the enzyme responsible for acp3U modification at position 47 of Escherichia coli tRNAs in the presence of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), while the specific substrate binding details and catalytic mechanism of TapT remain unknown. Here, we determined the three-dimensional structure of TapT in a SAM-bound state. The overall structure adopts SPOUT folding, with SAM located in an adaptive pocket. The cofactor recognition mode was further evaluated by additional structures of S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine or sinefungin to TapT, together with isothermal titration calorimetry to explore binding affinity and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry experiments to detect enzymatic activity. Furthermore, we performed fluorescence polarization assays to explore the tRNA recognition mechanism of TapT. It thus provides a thorough molecular basis for TapT substrate recognition and may promote further application in biochemistry, molecular biology, and tumor diagnostics.
