Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 1A2 Cooperates with Phosphatidylinositol-4 Kinase III β To Stimulate Production of Filopodia through Increased Phosphatidylinositol-4,5 Bisphosphate Generation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha 2 (eEF1A2) is a transforming gene product that is highly expressed in human tumors of the ovary, lung, and breast. eEF1A2 also stimulates actin remodeling, and the expression of this factor is sufficient to induce the formation of filopodia, long cellular processes composed of bundles of parallel actin filaments. Here, we find that eEF1A2 stimulates formation of filopodia by increasing the cellular abundance of cytosolic and plasma membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)]. We have previously reported that the eEF1A2 protein binds and activates phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase III beta (PI4KIIIbeta), and we find that production of eEF1A2-dependent PI(4,5)P(2) and generation of filopodia require PI4KIIIbeta. Furthermore, PI4KIIIbeta is itself capable of activating both the production of PI(4,5)P(2) and the creation of filopodia. We propose a model for extrusion of filopodia in which eEF1A2 activates PI4KIIIbeta, and activated PI4KIIIbeta stimulates production of PI(4,5)P(2) and filopodia by increasing PI4P abundance. Our work suggests an important role for both eEF1A2 and PI4KIIIbeta in the control of PI(4,5)P(2) signaling and actin remodeling.

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.
