Remodeling of endosomes during lysosome biogenesis involves `kiss and run' fusion events regulated by rab5
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The small GTPase rab5 has been shown to play key roles in the function of both endocytic and phagocytic organelles. Although these organelles share several additional common features, different processes have been proposed to explain their biogenesis. In the present study, we provide evidence that lysosome biogenesis involves mechanisms similar to those previously described for the formation of phagolysosomes. Transient interactions ('kiss and run') between endocytic organelles are shown to occur during lysosome biogenesis. These interactions are regulated initially by the GTPase activity of rab5, as demonstrated by the loss of size-selective fusion between endosomes in cells expressing a GTPase-deficient mutant of rab5. Endocytic compartments in these cells sequentially display properties of early and late endosomes. However, the formation of lysosomes and the sorting of endocytic solute materials to small electron dense vacuoles are not affected by the rab5 mutation. Together, our results indicate that endosome maturation occurs during the early part of lysosome biogenesis. This process involves transient fusion events regulated, in part, by the small GTPase rab5.

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.
