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

SecA, the translocation ATPase in Escherichia coli, undergoes cycles of conformational changes (insertion/deinsertion) in response to ATP and a preprotein. The membrane-embedded portion of protein translocase, SecYEG, has crucial roles in the SecA-driven preprotein translocation reaction. We previously identified a secY mutation (secY205) that did not allow an ATP- and preprotein-dependent (productive) insertion of SecA as well as secA mutations that suppressed the secY205 translocation defect. One of the suppressor mutations, secA36, also suppressed the cold-sensitive phenotype of the secG deletion mutant. In vitro experiments at 20 degreesC showed that inverted membrane vesicles lacking SecG were almost inactive in combination with the wild-type SecA protein in translocation of proOmpA as well as in the accompanying ATP hydrolysis. In contrast, the SecA36 mutant protein was found to be able to execute the translocation activity fully at this temperature, even in the absence of SecG. A SecG requirement and its alleviation by the SecA36 alteration also were shown for the SecA insertion reaction. The finding that the SecA36 protein no longer requires assistance from SecG in its insertion and in its catalysis of protein translocation agrees with the idea that SecG normally assists in the functioning of SecA. In agreement with this notion, when the intrinsic SecA function was compromised by a lowered ATP concentration, SecG became essential even at 37 degreesC and even for the SecA36 protein. We propose that in the normal translocase, SecG cooperates with SecA to facilitate efficient movement of preprotein in each catalytic cycle of SecA.
