Abstract
The cellular response to DNA damage includes the orderly recruitment of many protein complexes to DNA lesions. The MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex is well known to localize early to sites of DNA damage, but the post-translational modifications required to mobilize it to DNA damage sites are poorly understood. Recently, we have shown that MRE11 is arginine methylated in a C-terminal glycine-arginine rich (GAR) domain by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Arginine methylation is required for the exonuclease activity of MRE11 and the intra-S phase DNA damage response. Herein, we report that cells treated with methylase inhibitors failed to relocalize MRE11 from PML nuclear bodies to sites of DNA damage and formed few gamma-H2AX foci. We also demonstrate that PRMT1 is a component of PML nuclear bodies where it colocalizes with MRE11.Using cellular fractionation, we demonstrate that methylated MRE11 is predominantly associated with nuclear structures and that MRE11 methylated arginines were required for this association. These results suggest that MRE11 methylation regulates its association with nuclear structures such as PML nuclear bodies and sites of DNA damage.

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 it
