Two promoters with distinct activities in different tissues drive the expression of heparanase in <i>Xenopus</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In Xenopus laevis embryos, heparanase, the enzyme that degrades heparan sulfate, is synthesized as a preproheparanase (XHpaL) and processed to become enzymatically active (XHpa active). A short nonenzymatic heparanase splice variant (XHpaS) is also expressed. Using immunohistochemistry, Western blot, and heparanase promoter analysis, we studied the dynamic developmental expression of the three heparanases. Our results indicate that (1) all three isoforms are maternally expressed; (2) XHpaS is a developmental variant; (3) in the early embryo, heparanase is localized to both the plasma membrane and the nucleus; (4) several tissues express heparanase, but expression in the developing nervous system is most evident; (5) two promoters with distinct activities in different tissues drive heparanase expression; (6) Oct binding transcription factors may modulate heparanase promoter activity in the early embryo. These data argue that heparanase is expressed widely during development, but localization and levels are finely regulated.

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.
