Abstract
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of a necrotizing hemorrhagic pleuropneumonia in swine. In this study, we investigate the possibility that the limitation of branched-chain amino acids is a stimulus that A. pleuropneumoniae will encounter during infection and will respond to by up-regulation of genes involved in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis and virulence. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae genetic loci that are specifically induced during infection were screened in vitro for expression in response to limitation of branched-chain amino acids. Of 32 in vivo induced promoter clones screened in vitro, eight were induced on chemically defined medium without isoleucine, leucine and valine as compared to complete chemically defined medium. We identify the genomic context of each clone and discuss its relevance to branched-chain amino acid limitation and virulence. We conclude that limitation of branched-chain amino acids is a cue for expression of a subset in vivo induced genes, including not only genes involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids, but also other genes that are induced during infection of the natural host. These results suggest that limitation of branched-chain amino acids may be one of an array of environmental cues responsible for the induction of virulence-associated genes in A. pleuropneumoniae.

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 it
