The oligomeric state, complex formation, and chaperoning activity of Hsp70 and Hsp80 of <i>Neurospora crassa</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Molecular chaperones perform vital cellular functions under normal growth conditions and protect cells against stress-induced damage. The stress proteins Hsp70 and Hsp80 of Neurospora crassa were extracted from heat-shocked mycelium, purified to near homogeneity, and examined with respect to their oligomeric state, complex formation, and chaperoning properties. Their oligomeric state was assessed by dynamic light-scattering measurements, and both Hsp70 and Hsp80 were observed to form a range of soluble, high-molecular-mass protein aggregates. Direct interaction between Hsp70 and Hsp80 was studied by partial tryptic digestion and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Hsp70 was immobilized on the sensor chip surface, and the binding of Hsp80 in solution was followed in real time. Proteolytic digestion revealed that Hsp70-Hsp80 complex formation results in conformational changes in both proteins. The data from SPR studies yielded an equilibrium dissociation constant, KD, of 8.5 x 10(-9) M. The chaperoning ability of Hsp70, Hsp80, and Hsp70-Hsp80 was monitored in vitro by the protection of citrate synthase from thermal aggregation. The binding of nucleotides modulates the oligomeric state, chaperoning function, and hetero-oligomeric complex formation of Hsp70 and Hsp80.

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.
