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

Salmonella enterica degrades 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) in a coenzyme B12 (adenosylcobalamin, AdoCbl)-dependent fashion. Salmonella obtains AdoCbl by assimilation of complex precursors, such as vitamin B12 and hydroxocobalamin. Assimilation of these compounds requires reduction of their central cobalt atom from Co3+ to Co2+ to Co+, followed by adenosylation to AdoCbl. In this work, the His6-tagged PduS cobalamin reductase from S. enterica was produced at high levels in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. The anaerobically purified enzyme reduced cob(III)alamin to cob(II)alamin at a rate of 42.3±3.2 μmol min(-1) mg(-1), and it reduced cob(II)alamin to cob(I)alamin at a rate of 54.5±4.2 nmol min(-1) mg(-1) protein. The apparent Km values of PduS-His6 were 10.1±0.7 μM for NADH and 67.5±8.2 μM for hydroxocobalamin in cob(III)alamin reduction. The apparent Km values for cob(II)alamin reduction were 27.5±2.4 μM with NADH as the substrate and 72.4±9.5 μM with cob(II)alamin as the substrate. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) indicated that each monomer of PduS contained one molecule of noncovalently bound flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Genetic studies showed that a pduS deletion decreased the growth rate of Salmonella on 1,2-PD, supporting a role in cobalamin reduction in vivo. Further studies demonstrated that the PduS protein is a component of the Pdu microcompartments (MCPs) used for 1,2-PD degradation and that it interacts with the PduO adenosyltransferase, which catalyzes the terminal step of AdoCbl synthesis. These studies further characterize PduS, an unusual MCP-associated cobalamin reductase, and, in conjunction with prior results, indicate that the Pdu MCP encapsulates a complete cobalamin assimilation system.
