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 chromatin remodeling factor and histone chaperone Yta7 is a member of the ATAD2 family of AAA+ ATPases from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that has in vivo functions consistent with both nucleosome assembly and disassembly activity. At the centromere, Yta7 is required for proper deposition of the centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-ACse4. Here, we performed a genetic screen to identify suppressors of the defect of a mutation in CENP-ACse4 that impairs the interaction with the DNA of the centromeric nucleosome (cse4-S135A). This identified two suppressor alleles of YTA7, yta7-R483S and -D518E, which are in the AAA1 domain of Yta7. Interestingly, Yta7-R483S enhanced the deposition of CENP-ACse4 at the centromere and showed a ∼40% increased ATPase activity, suggesting that the hyperactivity of the motor domain is responsible for suppression of the cse4-S135A growth defect. In contrast, Yta7-D518E showed reduced ATPase activity, but both Yta7-R483S and -D518E retained the interaction with CENP-ACse4 and centromeric sequences as well as hexamer formation in vitro. Our analysis of in vivo interactions between Yta7 and CENP-ACse4 further showed that the two AAA+ domains and the non-canonical bromodomain of Yta7 are necessary and sufficient for interaction with CENP-ACse4. The genetic screen furthermore revealed a mutation in the chromatin remodeler Fun30 as a suppressor of the centromeric defect of cse4-S135A. Altogether, this work reveals unusual, hypermorphic properties of Yta7 variants and highlights the importance of nucleosome remodelers in establishing centromeric chromatin.
