The Glutamine-Alanine Repeat Domain of TCERG1 is Required for the Inhibition of the Growth Arrest Activity of C/EBPα
Bibliographic record
Abstract
TCERG1 was characterized previously as a repressor of the transcription factor C/EBPα through a mechanism that involved relocalization of TCERG1 from nuclear speckles to pericentromeric regions. The inhibitory activity as well as the relocalization activity has been demonstrated to lie in the amino terminal half of the protein, which contains several discrete motifs including an imperfect glutamine-alanine (QA) repeat. In the present study, we showed that deletion of this domain completely abrogated the ability of TCERG1 to inhibit the growth arrest activity of C/EBPα. Moreover, the QA repeat deletion mutant of TCERG1 lost the ability to be relocalized from nuclear speckles to pericentromeric regions, and caused an increase in the average size of individual speckles. We also showed that deletion of the QA repeat abrogated the complex formation between TCERG1 and C/EBPα. Examination of mutants with varying numbers of QA repeats indicated that a minimal number of repeats are required for inhibitory activity as well as relocalization ability. These data contribute to our overall understanding of how TCERG1 can have gene-specific effects in addition to its more general roles in coordinating transcription elongation and splicing.

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.
