Abstract
Hsp104 is a molecular chaperone in yeast that restores solubility and activity to inactivated proteins after severe heat shock. We investigated the mechanisms that influence Hsp104 subcellular distribution in both unstressed and heat-shocked cells. In unstressed cells, Hsp104 and a green fluorescent protein-Hsp104 fusion protein were detected in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. We demonstrate that a 17-amino-acid sequence of Hsp104 nuclear localization sequence 17 (NLS17) is sufficient to target a reporter molecule to the nucleus and is also necessary for normal Hsp104 subcellular distribution. The nuclear targeting function of NLS17 is genetically dependent on KAP95 and KAP121. In addition, wild-type Hsp104, but not an NLS17-mutated Hsp104 variant, accumulated in the nucleus of cells depleted for the general export factor Xpo1. Interestingly, severe, nonlethal heat shock enhances the nuclear levels of Hsp104 in an NLS17-independent manner. Under these conditions, we demonstrate that karyopherin-mediated nuclear transport is impaired, while the integrity of the nuclear-cytoplasmic barrier remains intact. Based on these observations, we propose that Hsp104 continues to access the nucleus during severe heat shock using a karyopherin-independent mechanism.

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 it
