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 methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is well-known for the production of a broad spectrum of functional types of heterologous proteins including enzymes, antigens, engineered antibody fragments, and next gen protein scaffolds and many transcription factors are utilized to address the burden caused by the high expression of heterologous proteins. In this article, a novel P. pastoris transcription factor currently annotated as Fhl1p, an activator of ribosome biosynthesis processing, was investigated for promoting the expression of the recombinant proteins.

resultsThe function of Fhl1p of P. pastoris for improving the expression of recombinant proteins was verified in strains expressing phytase, pectinase and mRFP, showing that the productivity was increased by 20-35%. RNA-Seq was used to study the Fhl1p regulation mechanism in detail, confirming Fhl1p involved in the regulation of rRNA processing genes, ribosomal small/large subunit biogenesis genes, Golgi vesicle transport genes, etc., which contributed to boosting the expression of foreign proteins. The overexpressed Fhl1p strain exhibited increases in the polysome and monosome levels, showing improved translation activities.

conclusionThis study illustrated that the transcription factor Fhl1p could effectively enhance recombinant protein expression in P. pastoris. Furthermore, we provided the evidence that overexpressed Fhl1p was related to more active translation state.
