Bis-hydroxylation of Homocitrulline Catalyzed by a Multinuclear Nonheme Iron Oxidative Enzyme during RiPP Biosynthesis.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2026. 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
Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are produced by biosynthetic enzymes that modify genetically encoded precursor peptide backbones and side chains. Genome mining and bioinformatics analyses targeting the multinuclear nonheme iron oxidative (MNIO) enzyme family led to the identification of a RiPP biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces thermodiastaticus JCM 4840, the std cluster, which includes multiple biosynthetic enzymes and a precursor peptide containing a conserved SNKEWQE motif. Using in vitro approaches, we elucidated the modifications installed by the std biosynthetic enzymes. First, a YcaO-TfuA pair thioamidates the asparagine backbone. Next, a peptidase with an S8/S53 domain fused to a NodU-like carbamoyltransferase both carbamoylates the ε-amino group of lysine to produce the nonproteinogenic amino acid homocitrulline and cleaves the C-terminal EWQE motif. Finally, a partner protein-MNIO pair bis-hydroxylates the β- and γ-carbon positions of the installed homocitrulline to create dihydroxyhomocitrulline. The formation of homocitrulline and dihydroxyhomocitrulline is unprecedented in RiPP biosynthesis. Moreover, these findings expand the known substrate scope of YcaO-TfuA enzymes and MNIOs and identify new roles for carbamoyltransferases in these pathways.
