Charged Amino Acids in the Transmembrane Helix Strongly Affect the Enzyme Activity of Aromatase.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Estrogens play critical roles in embryonic development, gonadal sex differentiation, behavior, and reproduction in vertebrates and in several human cancers. Estrogens are synthesized from testosterone and androstenedione by the endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound P450 aromatase/cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase complex (CYP19/CPR). Here, we report the characterization of novel mammalian CYP19 isoforms encoded by CYP19 gene copies. These CYP19 isoforms are all defined by a combination of mutations in the N-terminal transmembrane helix (E42K, D43N) and in helix C of the catalytic domain (P146T, F147Y). The mutant CYP19 isoforms show increased androgen conversion due to the KN transmembrane helix. In addition, the TY substitutions in helix C result in a substrate preference for androstenedione. Our structural models suggest that CYP19 mutants may interact differently with the membrane (affecting substrate uptake) and with CPR (affecting electron transfer), providing structural clues for the catalytic differences.
