Interaction of Nucleoplasmin with Core Histones
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nucleoplasmin is one of the most abundant proteins in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and it has been involved in the chromatin remodeling that takes place immediately after fertilization. This molecule has been shown to be responsible for the removal of the sperm-specific proteins and deposition of somatic histones onto the male pronuclear chromatin. To better understand the latter process, we have used sedimentation velocity, sedimentation equilibrium, and sucrose gradient fractionation analysis to show that the pentameric form of nucleoplasmin binds to a histone octamer equivalent consisting of equal amounts of the four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, without any noticeable preference for any of these proteins. Removal of the histone N-terminal "tail" domains or the major C-terminal polyglutamic tracts of nucleoplasmin did not alter these binding properties. These results indicate that interactions other than those electrostatic in nature (likely hydrophobic) also play a critical role in the formation of the complex between the negatively charged nucleoplasmin and positively charged histones. Although the association of histones with nucleoplasmin may involve some ionic interactions, the interaction process is not electrostatically driven.

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.
