Mahogunin-mediated regulation of Gα<sub>i</sub> localisation during mitosis and its effect on spindle positioning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mahogunin RING Finger 1 (MGRN1) is a ubiquitin E3 ligase known to affect spindle tilt in mitotic cells by regulating α-tubulin ubiquitination and polymerization. In cell culture systems we have found that expressing truncated mutants of MGRN1 leads to various other mitotic anomalies, such as lateral and angular spindle displacements. This seems to be independent of the MGRN1 ligase activity. Our experiments suggest that MGRN1 regulates the balance between the lower molecular weight monomeric Gαi and larger trimeric G-protein complex, along with its abundance in the ternary complex that regulates spindle positioning. The cytosolic isoforms of MGRN1 lead to the enrichment of monomeric Gαi in the cytosol and its subsequent recruitment at the plasma membrane. Excess Gαi at the cell cortex results in an imbalance in the assembly of the ternary complex regulating spindle positioning during mitosis. These observations seem independent of the ligase activity of MGRN1, although we cannot exclude the involvement of an intermediate player that acts as a substrate for MGRN1, and in turn, regulates Gαi.

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.
