Conversion of Phosphoglycolate to Phosphate Termini on 3′ Overhangs of DNA Double Strand Breaks by the Human Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase hTdp1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mammalian cells contain potent activity for removal of 3'-phosphoglycolates from single-stranded oligomers and from 3' overhangs of DNA double strand breaks, but no specific enzyme has been implicated in such removal. Fractionated human whole-cell extracts contained an activity, which in the presence of EDTA, catalyzed removal of glycolate from phosphoglycolate at a single-stranded 3' terminus to leave a 3'-phosphate, reminiscent of the human tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase hTdp1. Recombinant hTdp1, as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tdp1, catalyzed similar removal of glycolate, although less efficiently than removal of tyrosine. Moreover, glycolate-removing activity could be immunodepleted from the fractionated extracts by antiserum to hTdp1. When a plasmid containing a double strand break with a 3'-phosphoglycolate on a 3-base 3' overhang was incubated in human cell extracts, phosphoglycolate processing proceeded rapidly for the first few minutes but then slowed dramatically, suggesting that the single-stranded overhangs gradually became sequestered and inaccessible to hTdp1. The results suggest a role for hTdp1 in repair of free radical-mediated DNA double strand breaks bearing terminally blocked 3' overhangs.

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.
