Abstract
Elicitor-induced activation of the potato pathogenesis-related gene PR-10a requires a 30-bp promoter sequence termed the ERE (elicitor response element) that is bound by the nuclear factor PBF-2 (PR-10a binding factor 2). In this study, PBF-2 has been purified to near homogeneity from elicited tubers through a combination of anion-exchange and DNA affinity chromatography. Evidence demonstrates that inactive PBF-2 is stored in the nuclei of fresh tubers and becomes available for binding to the ERE upon elicitation. A protein with an apparent molecular mass of 24 kD (p24) is a DNA binding component of PBF-2. A cDNA encoding p24 has been cloned and encodes a novel protein with a potential transcriptional activation domain that could also act as a single-stranded DNA binding domain. Both PBF-2 and the cDNA-encoded protein bind with high affinity to the single-stranded form of the ERE in a sequence-specific manner. The inverted repeat sequence of the ERE, TGACAnnnnTGTCA, is critical for binding of this factor in vitro and for PR-10a expression in vivo, supporting the role of PBF-2 as a transcriptional regulator.

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 it
