Oligomeric potential of the M<sub>2</sub> muscarinic cholinergic receptor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors are known to exist as oligomers. Although such aggregates often are referred to as dimers, there is little direct evidence regarding their oligomeric size. In the present investigation, c-Myc-, FLAG-, and influenza hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged forms of the M2 muscarinic receptor have been coexpressed in Sf9 cells to probe for aggregates larger than a dimer. Immunochromatography, immunoprecipitation, and immunoblotting were carried out with various combinations of antibodies directed against the different epitopes to demonstrate that all three tagged forms of the receptor can be immunopurified within a single complex. Extracts of the M2 muscarinic receptor from Sf9 cells therefore contain aggregates that are at least trimeric, and the levels detected point to the existence of larger complexes. The data also suggest that the oligomers coexist with a sizeable population of monomers.

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.
