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

Facultative phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus DsbA-null mutants are proficient in photosynthesis but are defective in respiration especially in enriched growth medium at 35 degrees C. They also exhibit severe pleiotropic phenotypes extending from motility defects to osmofragility and oxidative stresses. In this work, using a combined proteomics and molecular genetics approach, we demonstrated that the respiratory defect of R. capsulatus DsbA-null mutants originates from the overproduction of the periplasmic protease DegP, which renders them temperature-sensitive for growth. The DsbA-null mutants reverted frequently to overcome this growth defect by decreasing, but not completely eliminating, their DegP activity. In agreement with these findings, we showed that overproduction of DegP abolishes the newly restored respiratory growth ability of the revertants in all growth media. Structural localizations of the reversion mutations in DegP revealed the regions and amino acids that are important for its protease-chaperone activity. Remarkably although R. capsulatus DsbA-null or DegP-null mutants were viable, DegP-null DsbA-null double mutants were lethal at all growth temperatures. This is unlike Escherichia coli, and it indicates that in the absence of DsbA some DegP activity is required for survival of R. capsulatus. Absence of a DegQ protease homologue in some bacteria together with major structural variations among the DegP homologues, including a critical disulfide bond-bearing region, correlates well with the differences seen between various species like R. capsulatus and E. coli. Our findings illustrate the occurrence of two related but distinct periplasmic protease families in bacterial species.
