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 mammalian high-mobility-group protein I(Y) [HMG I(Y)], while not a typical transcriptional activator, is required for the expression of many eukaryotic genes. HMG I(Y) appears to recruit and stabilize complexes of transcriptional activators through protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. The protein binds to the minor groove of DNA via three short basic repeats, preferring tracts of adenines and thymines arranged on the same face of the DNA helix. However, the mode by which these three basic repeats function together to recognize HMG I(Y) binding sites has remained unclear. Here, using deletion mutants of HMG I(Y), DNase I footprinting, methylation interference, and in vivo transcriptional assays, we have characterized the binding of HMG I(Y) to the model beta-interferon enhancer. We show that two molecules of HMG I(Y) bind to the enhancer in a highly cooperative fashion, each molecule using a distinct pair of basic repeats to recognize the tandem AT-rich regions of the binding sites. We have also characterized the function of each basic repeat, showing that only the central repeat accounts for specific DNA binding and that the presence of a second repeat bound to an adjacent AT-rich region results in intramolecular cooperativity in binding. Surprisingly, the carboxyl-terminal acidic tail of HMG I(Y) is also important for specific binding in the context of the full-length protein. Our results present a detailed examination of HMG I(Y) binding in an important biological context, which can be extended not only to HMG I(Y) binding in other systems but also to the binding mode of many other proteins containing homologous basic repeats, which have been conserved from bacteria to humans.
