Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A genomic clone encoding a thiohydroximate S-glucosyltransferase (S-GT) was isolated from Brassica napus by library screening with probes generated by PCR using degenerated primers. Its corresponding cDNA was amplified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR and also cloned by cDNA library screening. The genomic clone was 5 896 bp long and contained a 173-bp intron. At least two copies of the S-GT gene were present in B. napus. The full-length cDNA clone was 1.5 kb long and contained an open reading frame encoding a 51-kDa polypeptide. The deduced amino acid sequence shared a significant degree of homology with other glucosyltransferases characterized in other species, including a highly conserved motif within this family of enzymes corresponding to the glucose-binding domain. The recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the enzyme activity was tested by a biochemical assay based on the measure of glucose incorporation. The high thiohydroximate S-GT activity detected from the recombinant protein confirmed that this clone was indeed a S-glucosyltransferase.

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.
