Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Proteins destined for the peroxisomal matrix are synthesized in the cytosol, and imported post-translationally. It has been previously demonstrated that stably folded proteins are substrates for peroxisomal import. Mammalian peroxisomes do not contain endogenous chaperone molecules. Therefore, it is possible that proteins are required to fold into their stable, tertiary conformation in order to be imported into the peroxisome. These investigations were undertaken to determine whether proteins rendered incapable of folding were also substrates for import into peroxisomes. Reduction of albumin resulted in a less compact tertiary structure as measured by analytical centrifugation. Microinjection of unfolded albumin molecules bearing the PTS1 targeting signal resulted in their import into peroxisomes. Kinetic analysis indicated that native and unfolded molecules were imported into peroxisomes at comparable rates. While import was unaffected by treatment with cycloheximide, hsc70 molecules were observed to be imported along with the unfolded albumin molecules. These results indicate that proteins, which are incapable of assuming their native conformation, are substrates for peroxisomal import. When combined with previous observations demonstrating the import of stably folded proteins, these results support the model that tertiary structure has no effect on protein import into the peroxisomal matrix.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
