Inhibition of an iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein‐1 complex by ATP binding and hydrolysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Iron regulatory protein-1 binding to the iron-responsive element of mRNA is sensitive to iron, oxidative stress, NO, and hypoxia. Each of these agents changes the level of intracellular ATP, suggesting a link between iron levels and cellular energy metabolism. Furthermore, restoration of iron regulatory protein-1 aconitase activity after NO removal has been shown to require mitochondrial ATP. We demonstrate here that the iron-responsive element-binding activity of iron regulatory protein is ATP-dependent in HepG2 cells. Iron cannot decrease iron regulatory protein binding activity in cell extracts if they are simultaneously treated with an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Physiologic concentrations of ATP inhibit iron-responsive element/iron regulatory protein binding in cell extracts and binding of iron-responsive element to recombinant iron regulatory protein-1. ADP has the same effect, in contrast to the nonhydrolyzable analog adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate, indicating that in order to inhibit iron regulatory protein-1 binding activity, ATP must be hydrolyzed. Indeed, recombinant iron regulatory protein-1 binds ATP with a Kd of 86+/-17 microM in a filter-binding assay, and can be photo-crosslinked to azido-ATP. Upon binding, ATP is hydrolyzed. The kinetic parameters [Km=5.3 microM, Vmax=3.4 nmol.min(-1).(mg protein)(-1)] are consistent with those of a number of other ATP-hydrolyzing proteins, including the RNA-binding helicases. Although the iron-responsive element does not itself hydrolyze ATP, its presence enhances iron regulatory protein-1's ATPase activity, and ATP hydrolysis results in loss of the complex in gel shift assays.

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.
