Deletions of Any Single Residues in Glu40-Ser48 Loop Connecting A Domain and the First Transmembrane Helix of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase Result in Almost Complete Inhibition of Conformational Transition and Hydrolysis of Phosphoenzyme Intermediate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Possible roles of the Glu40-Ser48 loop connecting A domain and the first transmembrane helix (M1) in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1a) were explored by mutagenesis. Deletions of any single residues in this loop caused almost complete loss of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity, while their substitutions had no or only slight effects. Single deletions or substitutions in the adjacent N- and C-terminal regions of the loop (His32-Asn39 and Leu49-Ile54) had no or only slight effects except two specific substitutions of Asn39 found in SERCA2b in Darier's disease pedigrees. All the single deletion mutants for the Glu40-Ser48 loop and the specific Asn39 mutants formed phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) from ATP, but their isomeric transition from ADP-sensitive EP (E1P) to ADP-insensitive EP (E2P) was almost completely or strongly inhibited. Hydrolysis of E2P formed from Pi was also dramatically slowed in these deletion mutants. On the other hand, the rates of the Ca(2+)-induced enzyme activation and subsequent E1P formation from ATP were not altered by the deletions and substitutions. The results indicate that the Glu40-Ser48 loop, with its appropriate length (but not with specific residues) and with its appropriate junction to A domain, is a critical element for the E1P to E2P transition and formation of the proper structure of E2P, therefore, most likely for the large rotational movement of A domain and resulting in its association with P and N domains. Results further suggest that the loop functions to coordinate this movement of A domain and the unique motion of M1 during the E1P to E2P transition.

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.
