Specificity in substrate and cofactor recognition by the N-terminal domain of the chaperone ClpX
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clp ATPases are a unique group of ATP-dependent chaperones supporting targeted protein unfolding and degradation in concert with their respective proteases. ClpX is a representative member of these ATPases; it consists of two domains, a zinc-binding domain (ZBD) that forms dimers and a AAA+ ATP-binding domain that arranges into a hexamer. Analysis of the binding preferences of these two domains in ClpX revealed that both domains preferentially bind to hydrophobic residues but have different sequence preferences, with the AAA+ domain preferentially recognizing a wider range of specific sequences than ZBD. As part of this analysis, the binding site of the ClpX dimeric cofactor, SspB2, on ZBD in ClpX was determined by NMR and mutational analysis. The SspB C terminus was found to interact with a hydrophobic patch on the surface of ZBD. The affinity of SspB2 toward ZBD2 and the geometry of the SspB2-ZBD2 complex were investigated by using the newly developed quantitative optical biosensor method of dual polarization interferometry. The data suggest a model for the interaction between SspB2 and the ClpX hexamer.

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.
