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

backgroundStreptomyces are well known for their potential to produce various pharmaceutically active compounds, the commercial development of which is often limited by the low productivity and purity of the desired compounds expressed by natural producers. Well-characterized promoters are crucial for driving the expression of target genes and improving the production of metabolites of interest.

resultsA strong constitutive promoter, stnYp, was identified in Streptomyces flocculus CGMCC4.1223 and was characterized by its effective activation of silent biosynthetic genes and high efficiency of heterologous gene expression. The promoter stnYp showed the highest activity in model strains of four Streptomyces species compared with the three frequently used constitutive promoters ermEp*, kasOp*, and SP44. The promoter stnYp could efficiently activate the indigoidine biosynthetic gene cluster in S. albus J1074, which is thought to be silent under routine laboratory conditions. Moreover, stnYp was found suitable for heterologous gene expression in different Streptomyces hosts. Compared with the promoters ermEp*, kasOp*, and SP44, stnYp conferred the highest production level of diverse metabolites in various heterologous hosts, including the agricultural-bactericide aureonuclemycin and the antitumor compound YM-216391, with an approximately 1.4 - 11.6-fold enhancement of the yields. Furthermore, the purity of tylosin A was greatly improved by overexpressing rate-limiting genes through stnYp in the industrial strain. Further, the yield of tylosin A was significantly elevated to 10.30 ± 0.12 g/L, approximately 1.7-fold higher than that of the original strain.

conclusionsThe promoter stnYp is a reliable, well-defined promoter with strong activity and broad suitability. The findings of this study can expand promoter diversity, facilitate genetic manipulation, and promote metabolic engineering in multiple Streptomyces species.
