Organization and Evolution of the Human Growth Hormone Receptor Gene 5′-Flanking Region*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous studies have identified eight variant human GH receptor (hGHR) messenger RNA (mRNAs; V1-V8), that differ in their 5'-untranslated regions (5'UTRs) but splice into the same site just upstream of the translation start site in exon 2; thus, they encode the same protein. Here we report a novel variant, V9, and describe the mapping of all nine 5'UTR sequences within 40 kb upstream of exon 2. A cluster of three sequences, V2-V9-V3 (termed module A), lies furthest 5', and approximately 16 kb downstream is a second cluster of four exons, V7-V1-V4-V8 (module B). V6 is midway between modules A and B. Module B is about 18 kb upstream of V5, which lies adjacent to exon 2. hGHR expression is under developmental- and tissue-specific regulation, and expression of the variant mRNAs is related to their position within the 5'-flanking region; whereas module A (V2,V9,V3) and V5 variants are widely expressed, module B (V7,V1,V4,V8) and V6 variant mRNAs are detectable only in postnatal liver. Transcriptional start sites for V1 and V9 (representing the two different modules) were identified, showing that postnatal liver-specific expression of V1 is driven from two TATA boxes, whereas the ubiquitous V9 transcript has a single start site and a TATA-less promoter. V9 promoter activity was shown by in vivo and in vitro transfection assays, and an NF-Y binding site was demonstrated by electromobility shift assay. Thus, the regulatory regions of the hGHR gene are complex, and the clustering of seven 5'UTR exons within two modules with distinctly different mRNA expression patterns is the most striking feature.

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.
