Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

N-Glycan branching in the medial-Golgi generates ligands for lattice-forming lectins (e.g., galectins) that regulate surface levels of glycoproteins including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors. Moreover, functional classes of glycoproteins differ in N-glycan multiplicities (number of N-glycans/peptide), a genetically encoded feature of glycoproteins that interacts with metabolic flux (UDP-GlcNAc) and N-glycan branching to differentially regulate surface levels. Oncogenesis increases beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (encoded by Mgat5) expression, and its high-affinity galectin ligands promote surface retention of growth receptors with a reduced dependence on UDP-GlcNAc. Mgat5(-/-) tumor cells are less metastatic in vivo and less responsive to cytokines in vitro, but undergo secondary changes that support tumor cell proliferation. These include loss of Caveolin-1, a negative regulator of EGF signaling, and increased reactive oxygen species, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatases. These studies suggest a systems approach to cancer treatment where the surface distribution of receptors is targeted through metabolism and N-glycan branching to induce growth arrest.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
