Upregulation of the <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> efflux pump Tpo1 rescues an Imp2 transcription factor‐deficient mutant from bleomycin toxicity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Yeast mutants lacking the transcriptional co-activator Imp2 are hypersensitive to the anticancer drug bleomycin, although the gene targets involved in this process remain elusive. A search for multicopy suppressors that rescue the imp2Δ mutant from bleomycin toxicity revealed the transcriptional activator Yap1, which can turn on many target genes such as transporters involved in regulating drug resistance. We show that YAP1 overexpression stimulated the expression of the TPO1 gene encoding a polyamine efflux pump, and that Yap1 failed to rescue the imp2Δ mutant from bleomycin toxicity in the absence of the TPO1 gene. Moreover, TPO1 overexpression, and not the related transporter gene QDR3, conferred upon the tpo1Δ imp2Δ double mutant parental resistance to bleomycin. We conclude that YAP1 overexpression rescues the imp2Δ mutant from bleomycin toxicity by triggering Tpo1 expression to expel the drug. Our data provide the first evidence that bleomycin could be a substrate for the Tpo1 efflux pump.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
