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

The fusion of autophagosomes and endosomes/lysosomes, also called autophagosome maturation, ensures the degradation of autophagic cargoes. It is an important regulatory step of the macroautophagy/autophagy process. STX17 is the key autophagosomal SNARE protein that mediates autophagosome maturation. Here, we report that the acetylation of STX17 regulates its SNARE activity and autophagic degradation. The histone acetyltransferase CREBBP/CBP and the deacetylase HDAC2 specifically regulate the acetylation of STX17. In response to cell starvation and MTORC1 inhibition, the inactivation of CREBBP leads to the deacetylation of STX17 at its SNARE domain. This deacetylation promotes the interaction between STX17 and SNAP29 and the formation of the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 SNARE complex with no effect on the recruitment of STX17 to autophagosomal membranes. Deacetylation of STX17 also enhances the interaction between STX17 and the tethering complex HOPS, thereby further promoting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Our study suggests a mechanism by which acetylation regulates the late-stage of autophagy, and possibly other STX17-related intracellular membrane fusion events.
