Differential expression of the PSD-95 gene family in electrosensory neurons
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The PSD-95 family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) proteins are involved in the assembly and organization of neurotransmitter receptors at excitatory synapses in the vertebrate nervous system. We have isolated partial cDNAs for five PSD-95 family members from Apteronotus leptorhynchus brain RNA using a degenerate PCR method. The amino acid sequences deduced indicate that A. leptorhynchus neurons express homologues of the mammalian PSD-93, SAP-97, and SAP-102 MAGUKs and two homologues of mammalian PSD-95. In situ hybridization experiments have been carried out to localize the cellular expression of all five MAGUK mRNAs in the central nervous system of A. leptorhynchus. In the cerebellum the expression patterns are highly similar to patterns reported for mammalian cerebellum, suggesting an evolutionary conservation of the functional roles in this gene family. Cellular levels of expression of the PSD-95 MAGUK mRNAs and the NMDAR-1 mRNA were highly correlated in neurons of the dorsal forebrain but were not correlated in neurons of the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) or the cerebellum. These results suggest that the expression of PSD-95 MAGUK genes in forebrain neurons may provide mechanisms for synaptic organization that are not shared by neurons in the ELL and cerebellum.

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.
