Pex30-dependent membrane contact sites maintain ER lipid homeostasis.
Article in The Journal of cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In eukaryotic cells, communication between organelles and the coordination of their activities depend on membrane contact sites (MCS). How MCS are regulated under the dynamic cellular environment remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how Pex30, a membrane protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulates multiple MCS in budding yeast. We show that Pex30 is critical for the integrity of ER MCS with peroxisomes and vacuoles. This requires the dysferlin (DysF) domain on the Pex30 cytosolic tail. This domain binds to phosphatidic acid (PA) both in vitro and in silico, and it is important for normal PA metabolism in vivo. The DysF domain is evolutionarily conserved and may play a general role in PA homeostasis across eukaryotes. We further show that the ER-vacuole MCS requires a Pex30 C-terminal domain of unknown function and that its activity is controlled by phosphorylation in response to metabolic cues. These findings provide new insights into the dynamic nature of MCS and their coordination with cellular metabolism.
