MglA and mglB of Treponema denticola; Similarity to ABC Transport and spa Genes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The mglA and mglB genes (td-mglA and td-mglB) of the oral spirochete Treponema denticola were sequenced. These two T. denticola genes are highly homologous to the E. coli and Treponema pallidum mglA and mglB genes which are part of the three gene beta-methylgalactoside transport operon, mglBAC. Both Td-mglA and td-mglB are also homologous to the high affinity ABC-type transporters for ribose and arabinose, and surface presentation antigens (spa) locus, part of the type III secretion systems in enteropathogens. Td-mglB and td-mglA are co-transcribed as a single mRNA in T. denticola as well as in E. coli cells as determined by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Homology to td-mglB and its expressed protein was found in other oral spirochetes as determined by Southern and western blot analysis.

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.
