Bibliographic record
Abstract
Secretory proteins become folded and acquire stabilizing disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Correct disulfide bond formation is a key step in ER quality control (ERQC). Proteins with incorrect disulfide bonds are recognized by the quality control machinery and are retrotranslocated into the cytosol where they are degraded by the proteasome. The mammalian ER contains 17 disulfide isomerases and at least one of them, ERp57, works in conjunction with the ER lectin-like chaperones calnexin and calreticulin. The targeting of ERp57 to calnexin-calreticulin is mediated by its noncatalytic b' domain, and analogous domains in other disulfide isomerases likely determine their substrate and partner preferences. This review discusses some explanations for the multiplicity of disulfide isomerases and highlights structural differences in the b' domains of PDI and ERp57 as an example of how noncatalytic domains define specialized roles in oxidative folding.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
