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

The NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex in budding yeast, composed of six subunits, specifically acetylates lysine 14 on histone H3 (H3K14), thereby regulating various biological processes. Despite its importance, the structural basis and mechanism underlying histone tail recognition and substrate specificity of the NuA3 complex have remained elusive. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the NuA3 complex in its apo form, bound to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), and in a complex with both the histone H3 tail and acetyl-CoA. Our structure shows that the histone tail-binding cleft of NuA3 is formed cooperatively by two subunits, the catalytic subunit Sas3 and the non-catalytic subunit Nto1. A hydrophobic part of the cleft engages the region preceding H3K14 (residues 9-12), while a network of polar interactions between the cleft and the backbone of H3 residues 12-15, particularly involving Gly13, contributes to substrate specificity.
