A P <sub>IIB</sub> -type Ca <sup>2+</sup> -ATPase is essential for stress adaptation in <i>Physcomitrella patens</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transient cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) elevations are early events in plant signaling pathways including those related to abiotic stress. The restoration of [Ca(2+)](cyt) to prestimulus levels involves ATP-driven Ca(2+) pumps, but direct evidence for an essential role of a plant Ca(2+)-ATPase in abiotic stress adaptation is missing. Here, we report on a stress-responsive Ca(2+)-ATPase gene (PCA1) from the moss Physcomitrella patens. Functional analysis of PCA1 in a Ca(2+) transport-deficient yeast mutant suggests that PCA1 encodes a P(IIB)-type Ca(2+)-ATPase harboring an N-terminal autoinhibitory domain. In vivo localizations identified membranes of small vacuoles as the integration site for a PCA1:GFP fusion protein. PCA1 mRNA levels are up-regulated by dehydration, NaCl, and abscisic acid, and PCA1 loss-of-function mutants (DeltaPCA1) exhibit an enhanced susceptibility to salt stress. The DeltaPCA1 lines show sustained elevated [Ca(2+)](cyt) in response to salt treatment in contrast to WT that shows transient Ca(2+) elevations, indicating a direct role for PCA1 in the restoration of prestimulus [Ca(2+)](cyt). The altered Ca(2+) response of the DeltaPCA1 mutant lines correlates with altered expression levels of stress-induced genes, suggesting disturbance of a stress-associated signaling pathway. We propose that PCA1 is an essential component for abiotic stress adaptation in Physcomitrella involved in the generation of a specific salt-induced Ca(2+) signature.

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.
