Regulation of pannexin channels by post‐translational modifications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The large-pore channels formed by the pannexin family of proteins have been implicated in many physiological and pathophysiological functions, mainly through their ATP release function. However, a tight regulation of channel opening is necessary to modulate their function in vivo. Post-translational modifications have been postulated as some of the regulating mechanisms for Panx1, while Panx2 and Panx3 have not been as well characterized. Positive regulators include caspase cleavage to open Panx1 channels in apoptotic cells, and activation by Src family kinases via ionotropic receptors in neurons and macrophages. S-nitrosylation of cysteines has been shown to both inhibit and activate the Panx1 channel in different cell types. All three pannexins are N-glycosylated but to different levels of modification. Their diverse glycosylation appears to regulate cellular localization, intermixing, and may restrict their ability to function as inter-cellular channels. It is clear that our understanding of pannexin post-translational modification and their role in channel function regulation is still in its infancy even a decade after their discovery.

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.
