The adaptor protein p62/SQSTM1 in osteoclast signaling pathways
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a skeletal disorder characterized by focal and disorganized increases in bone turnover and overactive osteoclasts. The discovery of mutations in the SQSTM1/p62 gene in numerous patients has identified protein p62 as an important modulator of bone turnover. In both precursors and mature osteoclasts, the interaction between receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and its receptor RANK results in signaling cascades that ultimately activate transcription factors, particularly NF-κB and NFATc1, promoting and regulating the osteoclast differentiation, activity, and survival. As a scaffold with multiple protein-protein interaction motifs, p62 is involved in virtually all the RANKL-activated osteoclast signaling pathways, along with being implicated in numerous other cellular processes. The p62 adaptor protein is one of the functional links reported between RANKL and TRAF6-mediated NF-κB activation, and also plays a major role as a shuttling factor that targets polyubiquitinated proteins for degradation by either the autophagy or proteasome pathways. The dysregulated expression and/or activity of p62 in bone disease up-regulates osteoclast functions. This review aims to outline and summarize the role of p62 in RANKL-induced signaling pathways and in ubiquitin-mediated signaling in osteoclasts, and the impact of PDB-associated p62 mutations on these processes.

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.
