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

backgroundHeme-incorporating peroxygenases are responsible for electron transport in a multitude of organisms. Yet their application in biocatalysis is hindered due to their challenging recombinant production. Previous studies suggest Komagataella phaffi to be a suitable production host for heme-containing enzymes. In addition, co-expression of helper proteins has been shown to aid protein folding in yeast. In order to facilitate recombinant protein expression for an unspecific peroxygenase (AnoUPO), we aimed to apply a bi-directionalized expression strategy with Komagataella phaffii.

resultsIn initial screenings, co-expression of protein disulfide isomerase was found to aid the correct folding of the expressed unspecific peroxygenase in K. phaffi. A multitude of different bi-directionalized promoter combinations was screened. The clone with the most promising promoter combination was scaled up to bioreactor cultivations and compared to a mono-directional construct (expressing only the peroxygenase). The strains were screened for the target enzyme productivity in a dynamic matter, investigating both derepression and mixed feeding (methanol-glycerol) for induction. Set-points from bioreactor screenings, resulting in the highest peroxygenase productivity, for derepressed and methanol-based induction were chosen to conduct dedicated peroxygenase production runs and were analyzed with RT-qPCR. Results demonstrated that methanol-free cultivation is superior over mixed feeding in regard to cell-specific enzyme productivity. RT-qPCR analysis confirmed that mixed feeding resulted in high stress for the host cells, impeding high productivity. Moreover, the bi-directionalized construct resulted in a much higher specific enzymatic activity over the mono-directional expression system.

conclusionsIn this study, we demonstrate a methanol-free bioreactor production strategy for an unspecific peroxygenase, yet not shown in literature. Hence, bi-directionalized assisted protein expression in K. phaffii, cultivated under derepressed conditions, is indicated to be an effective production strategy for heme-containing oxidoreductases. This very production strategy might be opening up further opportunities for biocatalysis.
