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

backgroundPyrethroids are potentially harmful to human health and ecosystems. It is necessary to develop some efficient strategies to degrade pyrethroid residues. Biodegradation is generally considered as a safe, efficient, and inexpensive way to eliminate environmental contaminants. To date, although several pyrethroid-hydrolyzing esterases have been cloned, there has been no report about a pyrethroid hydrolase with high hydrolytic activity, good stability, and high productivity, indispensable enzymatic properties in practical biodegradation. Almost all pyrethroid hydrolases are intracellular enzymes, which require complex extraction protocols and present issues in terms of easy inactivation and low production.

resultsIn this study, random mutagenesis was performed on one pyrethroid-hydrolyzing esterase, Sys410, to enhance its activity and thermostability. Two beneficial mutations, A171V and D256N, were obtained by random mutagenesis and gave rise to the mutant M2. The mutant displayed ~1.5-fold improvement in the kcat/Km value and 2.46-fold higher catalytic activity. The optimal temperature was 10 °C higher than that of the wild-type enzyme (55 °C). The half-life at 40-65 °C was 3.3-310 times longer. It was surprising that M2 has a half-life of 12 h at 70 °C while Sys410 was completely inactivated at 70 °C. In addition, the desired gene was extracellularly expressed in a Pichia pastoris host system. The soluble expression level reached up to 689.7 mg/L. Remarkably, the enzyme could efficiently degrade various pyrethroids at moderate temperature for 15 min, exceeding a hydrolysis rate of 98%, which is the highest value ever reported.

conclusionsThis is the first report about random mutagenesis and secretory expression of pyrethroid-hydrolyzing esterase with high-level productivity and purity in P. pastoris. Broad substrate specificity, enhanced activity and thermostability make M2 an ideal candidate for the biodegradation of pyrethroid residues.
