Species specificity of the cytokine function of phosphoglucose isomerase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a cytosolic glycolytic enzyme that also functions as an extracellular cytokine (neuroleukin/autocrine motility factor (AMF)/maturation factor). Contrary to mammalian PGI, bacterial PGI was not internalized by the PGI/AMF receptor (gp78/AMF-R) and neither bacterial nor yeast PGI competed with mammalian PGI for receptor binding and internalization. Furthermore, while the bacterial, yeast and mammalian preparations all exhibited isomerase activity, only mammalian PGI stimulated the motility of NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. The conserved active site of PGI is therefore not sufficient for receptor binding and cytokine activity of PGI. However, synthetic peptides corresponding to distinct peripheral mammalian PGI sequences did not inhibit internalization of mammalian PGI. Our data therefore argue that the cytokine activity of PGI is specific to mammalian PGI but cannot exclude the possibility that the receptor binding motif of PGI is complex and includes elements within and without the active site.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
