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

backgroundThe ascomycete Trichoderma reesei is industrially used for the production of cellulases. During the production process xylanases are co-secreted, which uses energy and nutrients. Cellulases and xylanases share the same main regulators, which makes a knowledge-based strain design difficult. However, previously a cis-element in the promoter of the main xylanase-encoding gene was identified as binding site for a putative repressor. Subsequently, three candidate repressors were identified in a pull-down approach. The expression of the most promising candidate, Xpp1 (Xylanase promoter-binding protein 1), was reported to be up-regulated on the repressing carbon source d-glucose and to bind the cis-element in vitro.

resultsIn this study, Xpp1 was deleted and over-expressed in T. reesei. An in vivo DNA-footprint assay indicated that Xpp1 binds a palindromic sequence in the xyn2 promoter. Comparison of the deletion, the over-expression, and the parent strain demonstrated that Xpp1 regulates gene expression of xylanolytic enzymes at later cultivation stages. Xpp1 expression was found to be up-regulated, additionally to d-glucose, by high d-xylose availability. These findings together with the observed xyn2 transcript levels during growth on xylan suggest that Xpp1 is the mediator of a feedback mechanism. Notably, Xpp1 has neither influence on the d-xylose metabolism nor on the expression of cellulases.

conclusionsXpp1 as regulator acting on the expression of xylanases, but not cellulases, is a highly promising candidate for knowledge-based strain design to improve the cellulases-to-xylanases ratio during industrial cellulase production.
