Trafficking of L-type Calcium Channels Mediated by the Postsynaptic Scaffolding Protein AKAP79
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Accurate calcium signaling requires spatial and temporal coordination of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and a variety of signal transduction proteins. Accordingly, regulation of L-type VGCCs involves the assembly of complexes that include the channel subunits, protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase A anchoring proteins (AKAPs), and beta2-adrenergic receptors, although the molecular details underlying these interactions remain enigmatic. We show here, by combining extracellular epitope splicing into the channel pore-forming subunit and immunoassays with whole cell and single channel electrophysiological recordings, that AKAP79 directly regulates cell surface expression of L-type calcium channels independently of PKA. This regulation involves a short polyproline sequence contained specifically within the II-III cytoplasmic loop of the channel. Thus we propose a novel mechanism whereby AKAP79 and L-type VGCCs function as components of a biosynthetic mechanism that favors membrane incorporation of organized molecular complexes in a manner that is independent of PKA phosphorylation events.

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.
