Expression of GroEL and DnaK Proteins during the Acquisition of a Transitory Resistance to Lethal Stresses by<i>Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a periodontopathogenic bacterium associated with active lesions of localized aggressive periodontitis. Cells of A. actinomycetemcomitans grown to mid-log phase, diluted or undiluted, and subjected to a sublethal heat stress demonstrated a partial protection to a subsequent lethal heat stress. On the contrary, stationary phase heat-stressed cells did not exhibit this transient thermal protection. Heat-stressed cells at sublethal temperature showed a higher expression of GroEL and DnaK proteins by immunoblotting, which was in agreement with de novo synthesis. A. actinomycetemcomitans was found to be more sensitive to a pH than to a heat stress. A transient protection to a lethal acid stress was demonstrated when cells were previously subjected to a sublethal acid stress. On the contrary, such transient protection did not occur for alkaline stresses. DnaK but not GroEL proteins made up a high proportion of the total protein synthesized following acid stress. The protection phenomenon is highly complex and heat shock proteins, which may help A. actinomycetemcomitans to support subsequent lethal conditions, are not expressed in the same way during the different stresses investigated. Key words: Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , periodontitis, heat shock protein, stress tolerance.

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.
