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

A central tool for gene function analysis is the construction mutant strains. This can be done conveniently in A. gossypii using PCR-based tools. The deletion of essential genes can be performed since initial transformants are sheltered in a heterokaryotic mycelium, which contains nuclei with both wild type and mutant alleles. The analysis of mutant phenotypes in A. gossypii is regularly started by germinating spores, which contain only one nucleus. Thus, selection can be used to identify mutant germ cells and germlings. However, such an analysis yields only mutant mycelia if the deleted gene is not essential. We describe the use of the regulatable Saccharomyces cerevisiae and A. gossypii MET3 promoters as novel tools to regulate gene expression in A. gossypii. Conditional expression was tested using GFP and lacZ-reporter genes. Regulation of MET3 promoters was found to be dependent on methionine but not on cysteine and down-regulation to about 1/10 of the initial expression levels was achieved. We used the A. gossypii WAL1 and CYK1 genes as models to demonstrate that MET3 promoters could regulate the expression of these genes and reveal their mutant phenotypes depending on the presence or absence of methionine. Finally, we show that the AgMET3 promoter contains two Cpf1-binding sites and that AgCPF1 can complement the S. cerevisiae cpf1 methionine auxotrophy.
