Secondary Structure and Dynamics of the r(CGG) Repeat in the mRNA of the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1<i>(FMR1)</i>Gene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The CGG triplet repeat found within the 5'UTR of the FMR1 gene is involved in the pathogenesis of both fragile X syndrome and fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). The repeat has been shown to form both hairpins and tetraplexes in DNA; however, the secondary structure of CGG-repeat RNA has not been well defined. To this end, we have performed NMR spectroscopy on in vitro transcribed CGG-repeat RNAs and see clear evidence of intramolecular hairpins, with no evidence of tetraplex structures. Both C*G and G*G base pairs form in the hairpin stem, though in a dynamic equilibrium of conformations. In addition, we investigated the effect of an AGG repeat interruption on hairpin stability; such interruptions are often interspersed within the CGG repeat element and are thought to modulate secondary structure of the RNA. While the AGG repeat lowers the Tm of the hairpin at low Mg2+ concentrations, this difference disappears at physiological Mg2+ levels.

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.
