Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha) and proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) play central roles in the transcriptional control of energy homeostasis, but little is known about factors regulating their activity. Here we identified the homeobox protein prospero-related homeobox 1 (Prox1) as one such factor. Prox1 interacts with ERRalpha and PGC-1alpha, occupies promoters of metabolic genes on a genome-wide scale, and inhibits the activity of the ERRalpha/PGC-1alpha complex. DNA motif analysis suggests that Prox1 interacts with the genome through tethering to ERRalpha and other factors. Importantly, ablation of Prox1 and ERRalpha have opposite effects on the respiratory capacity of liver cells, revealing an unexpected role for Prox1 in the control of energy homeostasis.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
