Disruption of OCT4 Ubiquitination Increases OCT4 Protein Stability and ASH2L-B-Mediated H3K4 Methylation Promoting Pluripotency Acquisition.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
The protein level of OCT4, a core pluripotency transcription factor, is vital for embryonic stem cell (ESC) maintenance, differentiation, and somatic cell reprogramming. However, how OCT4 protein levels are controlled during reprogramming remains largely unknown. Here, we identify ubiquitin conjugation sites of OCT4 and report that disruption of WWP2-catalyzed OCT4 ubiquitination or ablation of Wwp2 significantly promotes the efficiency of pluripotency induction from mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Mechanistically, disruption of WWP2-mediated OCT4 ubiquitination elevates OCT4 protein stability and H3K4 methylation level during the reprogramming process. Furthermore, we reveal that OCT4 directly activates expression of Ash2l-b, and that ASH2L-B is a major isoform of ASH2L highly expressed in ESCs and required for somatic cell reprogramming. Together, this study emphasizes the importance of ubiquitination manipulation of the reprogramming factor and its interplay with the epigenetic regulator for successful reprogramming, opening a new avenue to improve the efficiency of pluripotency induction.
