DmsD is required for the biogenesis of DMSO reductase in <i>Escherichia coli</i> but not for the interaction of the DmsA signal peptide with the Tat apparatus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The DmsD protein is essential for the biogenesis of DMSO reductase in Escherichia coli, and binds the signal peptide of the DmsA subunit, a Tat substrate. This suggests a role as a guidance factor to target pre-DmsA to the translocase. Here, we have analysed the export of fusion proteins in which the DmsA and TorA signal peptides are fused to green fluorescent protein. Both chimeras are efficiently exported to the periplasm in wild-type E. coli cells and we show that their export efficiencies are essentially identical in a mutant lacking DmsD. An authentic Tat substrate, TMAO reductase, is also efficiently exported in the dmsD mutant. The data indicate that DmsD carries out a critical role in DMSO reductase biogenesis/assembly but is not required for the functioning of the DmsA signal peptide.

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.
