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

Correct formation of disulfide bonds is critical for protein folding. We find that cells lacking protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) can use alternative mechanisms for correct disulfide bond formation. By linking correct disulfide bond formation to antibiotic resistance, we selected mutants that catalyze correct disulfide formation in the absence of DsbC, Escherichia coli's PDI. Most of our mutants massively overproduce the disulfide oxidase DsbA and change its redox status. They enhance DsbA's ability to directly form the correct disulfides by increasing the level of mixed disulfides between DsbA and substrate proteins. One mutant operates via a different mechanism; it contains mutations in DsbB and CpxR that alter the redox environment of the periplasm and increases the level of the chaperone/protease DegP, allowing DsbA to gain disulfide isomerase ability in vivo. Thus, given the proper expression level, redox status, and chaperone assistance, the oxidase DsbA can readily function in vivo to catalyze the folding of proteins with complex disulfide bond connectivities. Our selection reveals versatile strategies for correct disulfide formation in vivo. Remarkably, our evolution of new pathways for correct disulfide bond formation in E. coli mimics eukaryotic PDI, a highly abundant partially reduced protein with chaperone activity.
