Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ymf39 is a conserved hypothetical protein-coding gene found in mitochondrial genomes of land plants and certain protists. We speculated earlier, based on a weak sequence similarity between Ymf39 from a green alga and the atpF gene product from Bradyrhizobium, that ymf39 might code for subunit b of mitochondrial F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase. To test this hypothesis, we have sequenced ymf39 from five protists with minimally derived mitochondrial genomes, the jakobids. In addition, we isolated the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex of the jakobid Seculamonas ecuadoriensis and determined the partial protein sequence of the 19-kDa subunit, the size expected for Ymf39. The obtained peptide sequence matches perfectly with a 3'-proximal region of the ymf39 gene of this organism, confirming that Ymf39 is indeed an ATP synthase subunit. Finally, we employed statistical tests to assess the significance of sequence similarity of Ymf39 proteins with each other, their nucleus-encoded functional counterparts, ATP4/ATP5F, from fungi and animals and alpha-proteobacterial ATP synthase b-subunits. This analysis provides clear evidence that ymf39 is an atpF homolog, while ATP4/ATP5F appears to be a highly diverged form of ymf39 that has migrated to the nucleus. We propose to designate ymf39 from now on atp4.

Not 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.
