The Multienzyme Complex Nature of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate Biosynthesis.
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 3 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
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a precursor of steroid sex hormones, is synthesized by steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17A1) with the participation of microsomal cytochrome b5 (CYB5A) and cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), followed by sulfation by two cytosolic sulfotransferases, SULT1E1 and SULT2A1, for storage and transport to tissues in which its synthesis is not available. The involvement of CYP17A1 and SULTs in these successive reactions led us to consider the possible interaction of SULTs with DHEA-producing CYP17A1 and its redox partners. Text mining analysis, protein-protein network analysis, and gene co-expression analysis were performed to determine the relationships between SULTs and microsomal CYP isoforms. For the first time, using surface plasmon resonance, we detected interactions between CYP17A1 and SULT2A1 or SULT1E1. SULTs also interacted with CYB5A and CPR. The interaction parameters of SULT2A1/CYP17A1 and SULT2A1/CYB5A complexes seemed to be modulated by 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). Affinity purification, combined with mass spectrometry (AP-MS), allowed us to identify a spectrum of SULT1E1 potential protein partners, including CYB5A. We showed that the enzymatic activity of SULTs increased in the presence of only CYP17A1 or CYP17A1 and CYB5A mixture. The structures of CYP17A1/SULT1E1 and CYB5A/SULT1E1 complexes were predicted. Our data provide novel fundamental information about the organization of microsomal CYP-dependent macromolecular complexes.
