Structural and functional insights of sortases and their interactions with antivirulence compounds.
Review in Current research in structural biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Sortase proteins play a crucial role as integral membrane proteins in anchoring bacterial surface proteins by recognizing them through a Cell-Wall Sorting (CWS) motif and cleaving them at specific sites before initiating pilus assembly. Both sortases and their substrate proteins are major virulence factors in numerous Gram-positive pathogens, making them attractive targets for antimicrobial intervention. Recognizing the significance of virulence proteins, a comprehensive exploration of their structural and functional characteristics is essential to enhance our understanding of pilus assembly in diverse Gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, this review article discusses the structural features of different classes of sortases and pilin proteins, primarily serving as substrates for sortase-assembled pili. Moreover, it thoroughly examines the molecular-level interactions between sortases and their inhibitors, providing insights from both structural and functional perspectives. In essence, this review article will provide a contemporary and complete understanding of both sortase pathways and various strategies to target them effectively to counteract the virulence.
