NMR structure and binding studies confirm that PA4608 from <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is a PilZ domain and a c‐di‐GMP binding protein
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PA4608 is a 125 residue protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a recent identification as a PilZ domain and putative bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) adaptor protein that plays a role in bacterial second-messenger regulated processes. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of PA4608 has been determined and c-di-GMP binding has been confirmed by NMR titration studies. The monomeric core structure of PA4608 contains a six-stranded anti-parallel beta barrel flanked by three helices. Conserved surface residues among PA4608 homologs suggest the c-di-GMP binding site is at one end of the barrel and includes residues in the helices as well as in the unstructured N-terminus. Chemical shift changes in PA4608 resonances upon titration with c-di-GMP confirm binding. This evidence supports the hypothesis that proteins containing PilZ domains are the long-sought c-di-GMP adaptor proteins.

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.
