Iron transporter Nramp2/DMT-1 is associated with the membrane of phagosomes in macrophages and Sertoli cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nramp2 (DMT1) is a pH-dependent divalent cation transporter that acts as the transferrin-independent iron uptake system at the intestinal brush border and also transports iron released from transferrin across the membrane of acidified endosomes. In this study, RAW264.7 macrophages and 2 independently derived murine Sertoli cells lines, TM4 and 15P-1, were used to further study the subcellular localization of Nramp2/DMT1 in phagocytic cells, including possible recruitment to the phagosomal membrane. Nramp2/DMT1 was localized primarily to the EEA1-positive recycling endosome compartment, with some overlapping staining with Lamp1-positive late endosomes. After phagocytosis, immunofluorescence analysis and in vitro biochemical studies using purified latex bead-containing phagosomes indicated Nramp2/DMT1 recruitment to the membrane of Lamp1, cathepsin D, and rab7-positive phagosomes. Nramp2/DMT1 was also found associated with erythrocyte-containing phagosomes in RAW macrophages and with the periphery of sperm-containing phagosomes in Sertoli cells. These results suggest that, as for the macrophage-specific Nramp1 protein, Nramp2/DMT1 may transport divalent metals from the phagosomal space.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
