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

On the basis of the crystal structure of bovine β4Gal-T1 enzyme, mutation of a single amino acid Y289 to L289 (Y289L) changed its donor specificity from Gal to N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc). A chemoenzymatic method that uses GalNAc analogues like GalNAz or 2-keto-Gal as sugar donors with the enzyme Y289L-β4Gal-T1 has identified hundreds of cytosolic and nuclear proteins that have O-GlcNAc modifications. To avoid potential cytotoxicity at Mn(2+) concentrations required to selectively modify GlcNAc residues on the surface of live cells, we have engineered a Mg(2+)-dependent enzyme. Previously, we found that the mutation of the metal-binding residue Met-344 to His-344 in bovine β4Gal-T1 enzyme altered its metal-ion specificity in such a way that the M344H-β4Gal-T1 enzyme exhibits better catalytic activity with Mg(2+) than with Mn(2+). Here, we find that, when these two mutations are combined, the double mutant, Y289L-M344H-β4Gal-T1, transfers GalNAc and its analogue sugars to the acceptor GlcNAc in the presence of Mg(2+). Using this mutant enzyme, we have detected free GlcNAc residues on the surface glycans of live HeLa cells and platelets. The specific transfer of a synthetic sugar with a chemical handle to the terminal GlcNAc residues on the surface of live cells provides a novel tool for selective modification, detection, and isolation of GlcNAc-ending glycans present on the cellular surface.
