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

I- CreI is a member of the LAGLI-DADG family of homing nucleases; however, unlike most members of this family it contains only a single copy of this signature motif. I- CreI was over-expressed in Escherichia coli, and a simple purification protocol developed that gave reasonably pure protein in high yield. Size-exclusion chromatography and chemical cross-linking indicated that the protein is a dimer in solution. DNA cleavage by I- CreI was absolutely dependent on Mg2+(or Mn2+), and was inhibited by monovalent cations. I- CreI displayed a surprisingly high temperature optimum (>50 degrees C), with full activity occurring even at 70 degrees C. Interestingly, SDS was needed for efficient release of the cleavage products from the protein, indicating formation of very stable DNA-protein complexes. In contrast to these robust characteristics, purified I- CreI was unstable; however, it could be stabilized by the addition of either target or non-target DNA. Mobility shift assays revealed that I- CreI binds to DNA in the absence of Mg2+. Hydroxyl radical footprinting showed that I- CreI strongly protected the backbone of a continuous stretch of at least 12 nt on each strand that were shifted, relative to each other, by 2 bp in the 3'direction. Methylation protection and interference analyses were also performed, and together with the hydroxyl radical footprinting, indicate that I- CreI binds in both the major and minor grooves of its target DNA.
