1.2 Å crystal structure of the <i>S. pneumoniae</i> PhtA histidine triad domain a novel zinc binding fold
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The recently described pneumococcal histidine triad protein family has been shown to be highly conserved within the pneumococcus. As part of our structural genomics effort on proteins from Streptococcus pneumoniae, we have expressed, crystallised and solved the structure of PhtA-166-220 at 1.2 Angstroms using remote SAD with zinc. The structure of PhtA-166-220 shows no similarity to any protein structure. The overall fold contains 3beta-strands and a single short alpha-helix. The structure appears to contain a novel zinc binding motif. The remaining 4 histidine triad repeats from PhtA have been modelled based on the crystal structure of the PhtA histidine triad repeat 2. From this modelling work, we speculate that only three of the five histidine triad repeats contain the residues in the correct geometry to allow the binding of a zinc ion.

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.
