Structural Insights into Ca2+-dependent Regulation of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors by CaBP1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Calcium-binding protein 1 (CaBP1), a neuron-specific member of the calmodulin (CaM) superfamily, modulates Ca2+-dependent activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs). Here we present NMR structures of CaBP1 in both Mg2+-bound and Ca2+-bound states and their structural interaction with InsP3Rs. CaBP1 contains four EF-hands in two separate domains. The N-domain consists of EF1 and EF2 in a closed conformation with Mg2+ bound at EF1. The C-domain binds Ca2+ at EF3 and EF4, and exhibits a Ca2+-induced closed to open transition like that of CaM. The Ca2+-bound C-domain contains exposed hydrophobic residues (Leu132, His134, Ile141, Ile144, and Val148) that may account for selective binding to InsP3Rs. Isothermal titration calorimetry analysis reveals a Ca2+-induced binding of the CaBP1 C-domain to the N-terminal region of InsP3R (residues 1-587), whereas CaM and the CaBP1 N-domain did not show appreciable binding. CaBP1 binding to InsP3Rs requires both the suppressor and ligand-binding core domains, but has no effect on InsP3 binding to the receptor. We propose that CaBP1 may regulate Ca2+-dependent activity of InsP3Rs by promoting structural contacts between the suppressor and core domains.

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.
