Contrasting Membrane Interaction Mechanisms of AP180 N-terminal Homology (ANTH) and Epsin N-terminal Homology (ENTH) Domains
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epsin and AP180/CALM are endocytotic accessory proteins that have been implicated in the formation of clathrin-coated pits. Both proteins have phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2)-binding domains in their N termini, but these domains are structurally and functionally different. To understand the basis of their distinct properties, we measured the PtdIns(4,5)P2-dependent membrane binding of the epsin N-terminal homology (ENTH) domain and the AP180 N-terminal homology (ANTH) domain by means of surface plasmon resonance and monolayer penetration techniques and also calculated the effect of PtdIns(4,5)P2 on the electrostatic potential of these domains. PtdIns(4,5)P2 enhances the electrostatic membrane association of both domains; however, PtdIns(4,5)P2 binding exerts distinct effects on their membrane dissociation. Specifically, PtdIns(4,5)P2 induces the membrane penetration of the N-terminal alpha-helix of the ENTH domain, which slows the membrane dissociation of the domain and triggers the membrane deformation. These results provide the biophysical explanation for the membrane bending activity of epsin and its ENTH domain.

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.
