Isolation of the Novel Human Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor Src Homology 3 Domain-Containing Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor (SGEF) and of C-Terminal SGEF, an N-Terminally Truncated Form of SGEF, the Expression of Which Is Regulated by Androgen in Prostate Cancer Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In searching for androgen-responsive genes in human prostate cancer cells, we have isolated two cDNAs that encode alternate forms of a novel Src homology 3 domain-containing guanine nucleotide exchange factor (SGEF). The SGEF mRNA is widely expressed in human tissues, and the predicted 871-amino acid SGEF protein contains Dbl homology and pleckstrin homology domains as well as an N-terminal proline-rich domain, a C-terminal Src homology 3 domain, and two nuclear localization signals. The second cDNA encodes a 139-amino acid N-terminally truncated form of SGEF designated C-terminal SGEF (CSGEF). In contrast to SGEF, CSGEF mRNA expression is restricted to prostate and liver. Moreover, CSGEF expression is up-regulated by androgens in LNCaP cells, whereas that of SGEF is not. Up-regulation of CSGEF was sensitive to actinomycin D but did not require new protein synthesis. The SGEF gene is located on chromosome 3q25.2 and consists of at least 15 exons. Based on the structure of the SGEF and CSGEF cDNAs, we deduced that CSGEF expression is controlled by an alternate androgen-responsive promoter of the SGEF gene. We hypothesize that SGEF is a ubiquitous regulator of Rho guanosine triphosphatases, whereas CSGEF may function as an androgen-induced regulator of Rho guanosine triphosphatase activity in epithelial cells of the human prostate.

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.
