Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and Choristoneura fumiferana multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus v-cath genes are expressed as pre-proenzymes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intracellular processing and trafficking of the baculovirus v-cath expressed cathepsin (V-CATH), which lacks canonical targeting signals, are poorly understood. The cathepsins of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), Choristoneura fumiferana multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (CfMNPV) and most other alphabaculovirus group I nucleopolyhedroviruses have well-conserved N-termini containing overlapping chymotrypsin-cleavage (Y(11)) and myristoylation (G(12)) motifs, which are suggestive of proteolytic signal-peptide cleavage to generate proV-CATH and subsequent acylation. To determine proteolytic N-terminal processing of V-CATH, haemagglutinin epitope-coding tags were fused to the 5' and/or 3' ends of AcMNPV and CfMNPV v-cath. Immunoblot analysis suggested that a small N-terminal peptide is cleaved for both viruses, indicating that v-cath is expressed as a pre-proenzyme. The two viral homologues undergo similar proteolytic processing, but have different glycosylation or other post-translational modifications. An AcMNPV V-CATH-DsRED fusion protein co-localized to the endoplasmic reticulum with an HDEL motif-containing green fluorescent protein. Based on these findings, pre-proV-CATH processing and trafficking mechanisms are postulated.

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.
