Mutation of the conserved N-terminal cysteine (Cys92) of human presenilin 1 causes increased Aβ42 secretion in mammalian cells but impaired Notch/lin-I2 signalling in C. elegans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The presenilin proteins are involved in the proteolytic processing of transmembrane proteins such as Notch/lin-12 and the beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP). Mutation of a conserved cysteine (Cys60Ser) in the C. elegans presenilin sel-12 has a loss-of-function effect on Notch/lin-12 processing similar to that of null mutations in sel-12. In contrast, in mammalian cells, most missense mutations increase gamma-secretase cleavage of betaAPP. We report here that mutation of this conserved cysteine (Cys92Ser) in human presenilin 1 confers a loss-of-function effect in C. elegans, but causes increased A beta42 secretion in mammalian cells. These data suggest that the role of presenilins in Notch/lin-12 signalling and betaAPP processing are either separately regulated activities or independent activities of the presenilins.

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.
