Abstract
Members of the F-box protein (Fbp) family are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid F-box motif. SCF complexes (formed by Skp1, cullin, and one of many Fbps) act as protein-ubiquitin ligases that control the G(1)/S transition of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The substrate specificity of SCF complexes is determined by the presence of different Fbp subunits that recruit specific substrates for ubiquitination. Unchecked degradation of cellular regulatory proteins has been observed in certain tumors and it is possible that deregulated ubiquitin ligases play a role in the altered degradation of cell cycle regulators. We have recently identified a family of human Fbps. As a first step aimed at determining if FBP genes could be involved in human neoplasia, we have mapped the chromosome positions of 5 FBP genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to 10q24 (BTRC alias beta-TRCP/FBW1a), 9q34 (FBXW2 alias FBW2), 13q22 (FBXL3A alias FBL3a), 5p12 (FBXO4 alias FBX4) and 6q25-->q26 (FBXO5 alias FBX5). Since most of these are chromosomal loci frequently altered in tumors, we have screened 42 human tumor cell lines and 48 human tumor samples by Southern hybridization and FISH. While no gross alterations of the genes encoding beta-Trcp/Fbw1a, Fbw2, Fbx4 and Fbx5 were found, heterozygous deletion of the FBXL3A gene was found in four of 13 small cell carcinoma cell lines. This is the first evaluation of genes encoding Fbps in human tumors.

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
