<i>foxo</i>is required for resistance to amino acid starvation in Drosophila
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ability of an organism to alter its metabolism, growth, and reproductive capacity in response to fluctuations in food availability has likely been an important factor in the course of evolution. The insulin signalling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used by metazoan animals to sense and respond to changes in nutrient intake. During conditions of starvation the level of circulating insulin is low. Under conditions of low insulin, the foxo family of transcription factors are activated. Studies in Drosophila suggest that Drosophila foxo may alter the transcriptional profile of cells to allow for maximum survival of the fly during starvation. We have tested this ability in transgenic flies containing a luciferase reporter gene under the control of foxo response elements. We show that foxo activity is increased during amino acid starvation and reduced in the presence of amino acids. In addition, we find that loss of function of foxo leads to reduced survival under conditions of amino acid starvation in both larvae and adult flies. These data provide direct evidence that foxo is activated during amino acid starvation and is critical for optimal survival under these conditions.

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.
