RFC3 regulates cell proliferation and pathogen resistance in Arabidopsis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Replication factor C subunit 3 (RFC3) is one of the small subunits of the RFC complex originally purified from the HeLa cells that is essential for the in vitro replication of Simian virus 40 (SV40). Although RFC has been reported to be involved in DNA replication, DNA repair and check-point control of cell cycle progression in yeast, little is known about the precise function of each subunit of the RFC in plants. We recently reported the identification of rfc3-1, which carries a point mutation leading to plants with enhanced expression of Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes and resistance against the virulent oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (H. a.) Noco2. The mutant is hypersensitive to SA and has enhanced pathogen resistance independent of Nonexpressor of PR genes 1 (NPR1). The rfc3-1 mutation caused a substitution from a nonpolar aliphatic amino acid (Gly-84) to a negatively charged amino acid (Asp) in functional domain III, which is one of eight conserved domains in the RFC. This may interfere with the interaction between RFC3 and other subunits, compromising the function of the protein complex, and leading to cell proliferation defects in the leaves and roots of Arabidopsis. Furthermore, enhanced expression of PR genes and induction of systemic acquired resistance in rfc3-1 may be caused by a partial loss of RFC function through its involvement in replication-coupled chromatin assembling.

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.
