Glycosyltransferase Jhp0106 (PseE) contributes to flagellin maturation in Helicobacter pylori.
Article in Helicobacter, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundFlagella-mediated motility is both a crucial virulence determinant of Helicobacter pylori and a factor associated with gastrointestinal diseases. Flagellar formation requires flagellins to be glycosylated with pseudaminic acid (Pse), a process that has been extensively studied. However, the transfer of Pse to flagellins remains poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study is to characterize a putative glycosyltransferase jhp0106 in flagellar formation. MATERIALS AND
methodsWestern blotting and chemical deglycosylation were performed to examine FlaA glycosylation. Protein structural analyses were executed to identify the active site residues of Jhp0106, while the Jhp0106-FlaA interaction was examined using a bacterial two-hybrid assay. Lastly, site-directed mutants with mutated active site residues in the jhp0106 gene were generated and investigated using a motility assay, Western blotting, cDNA-qPCR analysis, and electron microscopic examination.
resultsLoss of flagellar formation in the Δjhp0106 mutant was confirmed to be associated with non-glycosylated FlaA. Furthermore, three active site residues of Jhp0106 (S350, F376, and E415) were identified within a potential substrate-binding region. The interaction between FlaA and Jhp0106, Jhp0106::S350A, Jhp0106::F376A, or Jhp0106::E415A was determined to be significant. As well, the substitution of S350A, F376A, or E415A in the site-directed Δjhp0106 mutants resulted in impaired motility, deficient FlaA glycosylation, and lacking flagella. However, these phenotypic changes were regardless of flaA expression, implying an indefinite proteolytic degradation of FlaA occurred.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that Jhp0106 (PseE) binds to FlaA mediating FlaA glycosylation and flagellar formation. Our discovery of PseE has revealed a new glycosyltransferase family responsible for flagellin glycosylation in pathogens.
