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

A new strategy is described for the production of peptides enriched with stable isotopes. Peptides of interest are expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells as recombinant fusion proteins with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ubiquitin. This method yields as much as 30-100 mg/l of isotope-enriched fusion proteins in minimal media. A decahistidine tag attached to the N-terminus of ubiquitin enables a one-step purification of the fusion protein via Ni(2+)-chelating affinity chromatography. The ubiquitin moiety is then easily and specifically cleaved off by a protease, yeast ubiquitin hydrolase. Since this enzyme is also expressed at a high level in E. coli cells and can be purified in one step, the presented strategy has an advantage in view of costs over others that use commercially available proteases. In addition, since ubiquitin fusion proteins easily refold, the fusion protein can be expressed either in a soluble form or as inclusion bodies. This flexibility enables us to prepare peptides that are unstable in a soluble state in E. coli cells. As an example, the expression and the uniform stable isotope enrichment with 15N and/or 13C are described for mastoparan-X, a tetradecapeptide known to activate GTP-binding regulatory proteins. An amide group at the C-terminus of this peptide can also be formed by our method. The presented system is considered powerful for the stable isotope enrichment of short peptides with proton resonances that are too severely overlapped to be analyzed solely by proton NMR.
