Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of a conserved hypothetical protein of molecular weight 16.3 kDa from Mycobacterium tuberculosis corresponding to open reading frame (ORF) Rv1155 has been solved by the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion method and refined at 1.8 A resolution. The crystal structure revealed that Rv1155 is a dimer in the crystal and that each monomer folds into a large and a small domain; the large domain is a six-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel flanked by two small alpha-helices and the small domain is a helix-loop-helix motif. The dimer interface is formed by residues protruding primarily from five of the six beta-strands in each subunit. Based on structural similarity and on ligand binding, it has been established that Rv1155 is a pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase, the Escherichia coli and human counterparts of which catalyse the terminal step in the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), a cofactor used by many enzymes involved in amino-acid metabolism. The structures of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) bound separately to Rv1155 have been determined at 2.2 and 1.7 A resolution, respectively. Only one monomer binds non-covalently to one FMN molecule or to one PLP molecule. Arg55 and Lys57 are the key residues making hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions with the phosphate and ribose groups of the FMN molecule, whereas Arg55 and Arg129 provide hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions with the phosphate group of the PLP. Structural comparisons of Rv1155 from M. tuberculosis with its E. coli and human counterparts demonstrate that the core structure is highly conserved and the FMN-binding site is similarly disposed in each of the structures.

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 it
