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

Promiscuous post-translational modification (PTM) enzymes often display nonobvious substrate preferences by acting on diverse yet well-defined sets of peptides and/or proteins. Understanding of substrate fitness landscapes for PTM enzymes is important in many areas of contemporary science, including natural product biosynthesis, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Here, we report an integrated platform for accurate profiling of substrate preferences for PTM enzymes. The platform features (i) a combination of mRNA display with next-generation sequencing as an ultrahigh throughput technique for data acquisition and (ii) deep learning for data analysis. The high accuracy (>0.99 in each of two studies) of the resulting deep learning models enables comprehensive analysis of enzymatic substrate preferences. The models can quantify fitness across sequence space, map modification sites, and identify important amino acids in the substrate. To benchmark the platform, we performed profiling of a Ser dehydratase (LazBF) and a Cys/Ser cyclodehydratase (LazDEF), two enzymes from the lactazole biosynthesis pathway. In both studies, our results point to complex enzymatic preferences, which, particularly for LazBF, cannot be reduced to a set of simple rules. The ability of the constructed models to dissect such complexity suggests that the developed platform can facilitate a wider study of PTM enzymes.
