SANTA domain: a novel conserved protein module in <i>Eukaryota</i> with potential involvement in chromatin regulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since packaging of DNA in the chromatin structure restricts the accessibility for regulatory factors, chromatin remodeling is required to facilitate nuclear processes such as gene transcription, replication, and genome recombination. Many conserved non-enzymatic protein domains have been identified that contribute to the activities of multiprotein remodeling complexes. Here we identified a novel conserved protein domain in Eukaryota whose putative function may be in regulating chromatin remodeling. Since this domain is associated with a known SANT domain in several vertebrate proteins, we named it the SANTA (SANT Associated) domain. Sequence analysis showed that the SANTA domain is approximately a 90 amino acid module and likely composed of four central beta-sheets and three flanking alpha-helices. Many hydrophobic residues exhibited high conservation along the domain, implying a possible function in protein-protein interactions. The SANTA domain was identified in mammals, chicken, frog, fish, sea squirt, sea urchin, worms and plants. Furthermore, a phylogenetic tree of SANTA domains showed that one plant-specific duplication event happened in the Viridiplantae lineage.

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.
