Different populations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors expressed in the bovine adrenal cortex.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptor forms a tetrameric channel responsible for the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. In the present study we showed that the experimental approach used to separate bound and free ligands may discriminate between two populations of InsP3 binding sites in bovine adrenal cortex microsomes. A large population of low affinity sites and a small population of high affinity sites were detected with centrifugation and filtration approaches, respectively. Both populations were found in the supernatant and the cytoskeleton fractions of Triton X-100 solubilized microsomes. After treatment of microsomes with thimerosal, an alkylating reagent known to increase InsP3 receptor affinity, the filtration and the centrifugation approaches yielded identical results. With selective anti-InsP3 receptor antibodies, we showed that types 1, 2 and 3 InsP3 receptors are present in intact microsomes and in the cytoskeleton fraction. Binding studies on immunoprecipitated receptors revealed that anti-type 1 antibody recognizes a large population of low affinity sites whereas anti-type 2 antibody recognizes a small population of high affinity sites. Our results indicate that the three types of InsP3 receptors are expressed at different levels in the bovine adrenal cortex. The presence of different types of InsP3 receptors with different ligand binding affinities and their association with the cytoskeleton offer a convenient way for the cell to simultaneously regulate its intracellular Ca2+ concentration and reorganize the spatial distribution of its Ca2+ stores.

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.
