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

Mutations in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SNF1 gene affect a number of cellular processes, including the expression of genes involved in carbon source utilization and phospholipid biosynthesis. To identify targets of the Snf1 kinase that modulate expression of INO1, a gene required for an early, rate-limiting step in phospholipid biosynthesis, we performed a genetic selection for suppressors of the inositol auxotrophy of snf1Delta strains. We identified mutations in ACC1 and FAS1, two genes important for fatty acid biosynthesis in yeast; ACC1 encodes acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (Acc1), and FAS1 encodes the beta subunit of fatty acid synthase. Acc1 was shown previously to be phosphorylated and inactivated by Snf1. Here we show that snf1Delta strains with increased Acc1 activity exhibit decreased INO1 transcription. Strains carrying the ACC1 suppressor mutation have reduced Acc1 activity in vitro and in vivo, as revealed by enzymatic assays and increased sensitivity to the Acc1-specific inhibitor soraphen A. Moreover, a reduction in Acc1 activity, caused by addition of soraphen A, provision of exogenous fatty acid, or conditional expression of ACC1, suppresses the inositol auxotrophy of snf1Delta strains. Together, these findings indicate that the inositol auxotrophy of snf1Delta strains arises in part from elevated Acc1 activity and that a reduction in this activity restores INO1 expression in these strains. These results reveal a Snf1-dependent connection between fatty acid production and phospholipid biosynthesis, identify Acc1 as a Snf1 target important for INO1 transcription, and suggest models in which metabolites that are generated or utilized during fatty acid biosynthesis can significantly influence gene expression in yeast.
