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

Filamentous fungi have received attention as hosts for heterologous protein production because of their high secretion capability and eukaryotic posttranslational modifications. However, despite these positive attributes, a bottleneck in posttranscriptional processing limits protein yields. The vacuolar protein sorting gene VPS10 encodes a sorting receptor for the recognition and delivery of several yeast vacuolar proteins. Although it can also target recombinant and aberrant proteins for vacuolar degradation, there is limited knowledge of the effect of its disruption on heterologous protein production. In this study, cDNA encoding AoVps10 from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae was cloned and sequenced. Microscopic observation of the transformant expressing AoVps10 fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein showed that the fusion protein localized at the Golgi and prevacuolar compartments. Moreover, disruption of the Aovps10 gene resulted in missorting and secretion of vacuolar carboxypeptidase AoCpyA into the medium, indicating that AoVps10 is required for sorting of vacuolar proteins to vacuoles. To investigate the extracellular production levels of heterologous proteins, DeltaAovps10 mutants expressing either bovine chymosin (CHY) or human lysozyme (HLY) were constructed. Interestingly, the DeltaAovps10 mutation increased the maximum extracellular production levels of CHY and HLY by 3- and 2.2-fold, respectively. Western blot analysis of extracellular heterologous proteins also demonstrated an improvement in productivity. These results suggest that AoVps10 plays a role in the regulation of heterologous protein secretion in A. oryzae and may be involved in the vacuolar protein degradation through the Golgi apparatus.
