Cooperative Activation by GATA-4 and YY1 of the Cardiac B-type Natriuretic Peptide Promoter
Bibliographic record
Abstract
YY1, a multifunctional protein essential for embryonic development, is a known repressor or activator of transcription. In cardiac and skeletal myocytes, YY1 has been described essentially as a negative regulator of muscle-specific genes. In this study, we report that YY1 is a transcriptional activator of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) gene, which encodes one of the heart major secretory products. YY1 binds an element within the proximal cardiac BNP promoter, in close proximity to the high affinity binding sites for the zinc finger GATA proteins. We show that YY1 cooperates with GATA-4 to synergistically activate BNP transcription. Structure-function analysis revealed that the DNA binding domain of YY1 is sufficient for cooperative interaction with GATA-4, likely through corecruitment of the CREB-binding protein coactivator. The results suggest that YY1 and GATA factors are components of transcriptionally active complexes present in cardiac and other GATA-containing cells.

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.
