Activation and Function of the Rap1 Gtpase in B Lymphocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rap1 is a monomeric GTPase that is closely related to Ras. In this review, we summarize our recent work showing that the B cell antigen receptor (BCR), as well as chemokine receptors, activate Rap1 via a pathway that involves phospholipase C-dependent production of diacylglycerol (DAG). The possible identities of the DAG-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that regulate the activation of Rap1 by the BCR and chemokine receptors will be discussed. Although initially thought to be an antagonist of Ras-mediated signaling, Rap1 does not appear to modulate the ability of the BCR to activate downstream targets of Ras. Instead, activation of Rap1 promotes B cell adhesion as well as B cell migration toward chemokines. Thus, Rap1 may play a key role in a number of processes that are essential for B cell development and activation.

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.
