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

Protein disulfide isomerase is a type of enzyme that catalyses the oxidation, isomerization and reduction of disulfide bonds. Conotoxins that containing disulfide bonds are likely substrates of protein disulfide isomerise. Here, we cloned 12 protein disulfide isomerise genes from 12 different cone snail species that inhabited the sea near Sanya in China. The full-length amino acid sequences of these protein disulfide isomerase genes share a high degree of homology, including the same -CGHC- active site sequence and -RDEL- endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. To obtain enough conus protein disulfide isomerase for functional studies, we constructed the expression vector pET28a-sPDI. Conus protein disulfide isomerase was successfully expressed using Escherichia coli expression system and purified using chromatography method of affinity chromatography. The recombinant conus protein disulfide isomerase showed the ability to catalyse disulfide bond formation and rearrangement in the lysozyme enzyme activity assay. The role of conus protein disulfide isomerase in the in vitro oxidative folding of conotoxins was investigated using synthetic linear conotoxin lt14a, a peptide composed of 13 amino acids. It was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis that conus protein disulfide isomerase can catalyse the disulfide bond formation of linear lt14a. Then, conus protein disulfide isomerase was acted as a fusion partner during the production of engineered peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase and lt14a derived from cone snails. It was shown that peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase and conotoxin lt14a are successfully expressed in a highly soluble form by fusion with conus protein disulfide isomerase. Thus, conus protein disulfide isomerase functions not only as an enzyme that catalyses oxidative process but also a fusion partner in recombinant conotoxin expression.
