STN1 Shields CTC1 From TRIM32-Mediated Ubiquitination to Prevent Cellular Aging.
Article in Aging cell, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 CST (CTC1-STN1-TEN1) complex, a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding complex, is essential for telomere maintenance and genome stability. Depletion of either CTC1 or STN1 results in cellular senescence, while mutations in these components are associated with severe hereditary disorders. In this study, we demonstrate that the direct STN1-CTC1 interaction stabilizes CTC1 by preventing its degradation via TRIM32 mediated ubiquitination. Functional assays indicate that TRIM32 and the CTC1/STN1 complex exert opposing effects on cellular proliferation. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis of large-scale RNA sequencing data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) reveals inverse expression patterns of TRIM32 and CTC1/STN1 during somatic cell aging. Structural modeling using AlphaFold3 predicts that the TRIM32-CTC1 interaction occurs at the OB-G domain of CTC1, with the binding interface positioned near the STN1-interacting region, termed the "cleft" motif. Mechanistically, STN1 likely associates with the OB-G domain of CTC1, competing with TRIM32 for binding sites and thereby interfering with TRIM32-mediated ubiquitination of CTC1. Collectively, our findings identify STN1 as a critical regulator of CST complex integrity and cellular aging by safeguarding CTC1 from TRIM32-driven ubiquitin-proteasome degradation.
