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

Asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs) have recently been widely utilized for peptide and protein modification. Labeling is however restricted to protein termini, severely limiting flexibility and scope in creating diverse conjugates as needed for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Here, we use genetic code expansion to site-specifically modify target proteins with an isopeptide-linked glycylglycine moiety that serves as an acceptor nucleophile in AEP-mediated transpeptidation with various probes containing a tripeptidic recognition motif. Our approach allows simple and flexible labeling of recombinant proteins at any internal site and leaves a minimal, entirely peptidic footprint (NGG) in the conjugation product. We show site-specific labeling of diverse target proteins with various biophysical probes, including dual labeling at an internal site and the N-terminus. Furthermore, we harness AEP-mediated transpeptidation for generation of ubiquitin- and ubiquitin-like-modifier conjugates bearing a native isopeptide bond and only one point mutation in the linker region.
