Structure of the CoA transferase from pig heart to 1.7 Å resolution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT; EC 2.8.3.5) activates the acetoacetate in ketone bodies by transferring the CoA group from succinyl-CoA to acetoacetate to produce acetoacetyl-CoA and succinate. In the reaction, a glutamate residue at the active site of the enzyme forms a thioester bond with CoA and in this form the enzyme is subject to autolytic fragmentation. The crystal structure of pig heart SCOT has been solved and refined to 1.7 A resolution in a new crystal form. The structure shows the active-site glutamate residue in a conformation poised for autolytic fragmentation, with its side chain accepting one hydrogen bond from Asn281 and another from its own amide N atom. However, the conformation of this glutamate side chain would have to change for the residues that are conserved in the CoA transferases (Gln99, Gly386 and Ala387) to participate in stabilizing the tetrahedral transition states of the catalytic mechanism. The structures of a deletion mutant in two different crystal forms were also solved.

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.
