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

Sequential enzymatic reactions on substrates tethered to carrier proteins (CPs) generate thiotemplated building blocks that are then delivered to nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) to generate peptidic natural products. The underlying diversity of these thiotemplated building blocks is the principal driver of the chemical diversity of NRPS-derived natural products. Structural insights into recognition of CPs by tailoring enzymes that generate these building blocks are sparse. Here we present the crystal structure of a flavin-dependent prolyl oxidase that furnishes thiotemplated pyrrole as the product, in complex with its cognate CP in the holo and product-bound states. The thiotemplated pyrrole is an intermediate that is well-represented in natural product biosynthetic pathways. Our results delineate the interactions between the CP and the oxidase while also providing insights into the stereospecificity of the enzymatic oxidation of the prolyl heterocycle to the aromatic pyrrole. Biochemical validation of the interaction between the CP and the oxidase demonstrates that NRPSs recognize and bind to their CPs using interactions quite different from those of fatty acid and polyketide biosynthetic enzymes. Our results posit that structural diversity in natural product biosynthesis can be, and is, derived from subtle modifications of primary metabolic enzymes.
