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 ubiquitous transcription factor specificity protein 1 (SP1) is heavily modified posttranslationally. These modifications are critical for switching its functions and modulation of its transcriptional activity and DNA binding and stability. However, the mechanism governing the stability of SP1 by cellular signaling pathways is not well understood. Here, we provide biochemical and functional evidence that SP1 is an integral part of the Wnt signaling pathway. We identified a phosphodegron motif in SP1 that is specific to mammals. In the absence of Wnt signaling, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β)-mediated phosphorylation and β-TrCP E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated ubiquitination are required to induce SP1 degradation. When Wnt signaling is on, SP1 is stabilized in a β-catenin-dependent manner. SP1 directly interacts with β-catenin, and Wnt signaling induces the stabilization of SP1 by impeding its interaction with β-TrCP and axin1, components of the destruction complex. Wnt signaling suppresses ubiquitination and subsequent proteosomal degradation of SP1. Furthermore, SP1 regulates Wnt-dependent stability of β-catenin and their mutual stabilization is critical for target gene expression, suggesting a feedback mechanism. Upon stabilization, SP1 and β-catenin cooccupy the promoters of TCFL2/β-catenin target genes. Collectively, this study uncovers a direct link between SP1 and β-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway.
