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

The efficient production of membrane proteins in bacteria remains a major challenge. In this work, we sought to identify overexpressed genes that enhance the yields of recombinant membrane proteins in Escherichia coli. We developed a genetic selection system for bacterial membrane protein production, consisting of membrane protein fusions with the enzyme beta-lactamase and facile selection of high-production strains on ampicillin-containing media. This system was used to screen the ASKA library, an ordered library of plasmids encoding all the known E. coli open reading frames (ORFs), and several clones with the ability to accumulate enhanced amounts of recombinant membrane proteins were selected. Notably, coexpression of ybaB, a gene encoding a putative DNA-binding protein of unknown function, was found to enhance the accumulation of a variety of membrane-integrated human G protein-coupled receptors and other integral membrane proteins in E. coli by up to 10-fold. The results of this study highlight the power of genetic approaches for identifying factors that impact membrane protein biogenesis and for generating engineered microbial hosts for membrane protein production.
