The membrane dynamics of pexophagy are influenced by Sar1p in Pichia pastoris.

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
Several Sec proteins including a guanosine diphosphate/guanosine triphosphate exchange factor for Sar1p have been implicated in autophagy. In this study, we investigated the role of Sar1p in pexophagy by expressing dominant-negative mutant forms of Sar1p in Pichia pastoris. When expressing sar1pT34N or sar1pH79G, starvation-induced autophagy, glucose-induced micropexophagy, and ethanol-induced macropexophagy are dramatically suppressed. These Sar1p mutants did not affect the initiation or expansion of the sequestering membranes nor the trafficking of Atg11p and Atg9p to these membranes during micropexophagy. However, the lipidation of Atg8p and assembly of the micropexophagic membrane apparatus, which are essential to complete the incorporation of the peroxisomes into the degradative vacuole, were inhibited when either Sar1p mutant protein was expressed. During macropexophagy, the expression of sar1pT34N inhibited the formation of the pexophagosome, whereas sar1pH79G suppressed the delivery of the peroxisome from the pexophagosome to the vacuole. The pexophagosome contained Atg8p in wild-type cells, but in cells expressing sar1pH79G these organelles contain both Atg8p and endoplasmic reticulum components as visualized by DsRFP-HDEL. Our results demonstrate key roles for Sar1p in both micro- and macropexophagy.
