The<i>wbiA</i>locus is required for the 2-<i>O</i>-acetylation of lipopolysaccharides expressed by<i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i>and<i>Burkholderia thailandensis</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis express similar O-antigens (O-PS II) in which their 6-deoxy-alpha-L-talopyranosyl (L-6dTalp) residues are variably substituted with O-acetyl groups at the O-2 or O-4 positions. In previous studies we demonstrated that the protective monoclonal antibody, Pp-PS-W, reacted with O-PS II expressed by wild-type B. pseudomallei strains but not by a B. pseudomallei wbiA null mutant. In the present study we demonstrate that WbiA activity is required for the acetylation of the L-6dTalp residues at the O-2 position and that structural modification of O-PS II molecules at this site is critical for recognition by Pp-PS-W.

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.
