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

More than one-third of the RAG1 protein can be truncated from the N-terminus with only subtle effects on the products of V(D)J recombination in vitro or in a mouse. What, then, is the function of the N-terminal domain? We believe it to be regulatory. We determined, several years ago, that an included RING motif could function as an ubiquitin E3 ligase. Whether this activity is limited to automodification, or may alter other proteins in the cell, remains an open question. We revisited the issue of additional protein-protein interactions between RAG1 and other proteins by means of the yeast two-hybrid assay. We confirmed the interaction already described with KPNA2/RCH1/SRP1alpha and found two others--to the transcription factor GMEB1/PIF p96 and the splicing factor SF3A2/SF3a66. A luciferase reporter assay demonstrates that a protein complex containing RAG proteins and the transcription factor can assemble in cells. Further mapping identified a region within the N-terminal domain resembling a WW motif. Point mutation directed at residues conserved in WW motifs eliminated binding to one of the partners. Phylogenetic analysis shows the WW-like module to be highly conserved. The module contributes to protein-protein interactions that may also influence how RAG1 binds DNA targets.
