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

Subtilisin-like serine proteases (SBTs) are extracellular proteases that depend on their propeptides for zymogen maturation and activation. The function of propeptides in plant SBTs is poorly understood and was analyzed here for the propeptide of tomato subtilase 3 (SBT3PP). SBT3PP was found to be required as an intramolecular chaperone for zymogen maturation and secretion of SBT3 in vivo Secretion was impaired in a propeptide-deletion mutant but could be restored by co-expression of the propeptide in trans SBT3 was inhibited by SBT3PP with a Kd of 74 nm for the enzyme-inhibitor complex. With a melting point of 87 °C, thermal stability of the complex was substantially increased as compared with the free protease suggesting that propeptide binding stabilizes the structure of SBT3. Even closely related propeptides from other plant SBTs could not substitute for SBT3PP as a folding assistant or autoinhibitor, revealing high specificity for the SBT3-SBT3PP interaction. Separation of the chaperone and inhibitor functions of SBT3PP in a domain-swap experiment indicated that they are mediated by different regions of the propeptide and, hence, different modes of interaction with SBT3. Release of active SBT3 from the autoinhibited complex relied on a pH-dependent cleavage of the propeptide at Asn-38 and Asp-54. The remarkable stability of the autoinhibited complex and pH dependence of the secondary cleavage provide means for stringent control of SBT3 activity, to ensure that the active enzyme is not released before it reaches the acidic environment of the trans-Golgi network or its final destination in the cell wall.
