Phosphatidylserine Allows Observation of the Calcium–Myristoyl Switch of Recoverin and Its Preferential Binding
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recoverin undergoes a calcium-myristoyl switch during visual phototransduction. Indeed, calcium binding by recoverin results in the extrusion of its myristoyl group, which allows its membrane binding. However, the contribution of particular lipids and of specific amino acids of recoverin in its membrane binding has not yet been demonstrated. In the present work, the affinity of recoverin for the negatively charged phosphatidylserine has been clearly shown to be governed by a cluster of positively charged residues located in its N-terminal segment. Moreover, the calcium-myristoyl switch of recoverin was only observed upon binding onto monolayers of phosphatidylserine and not in the case of other anionic phospholipids. Fluorescence microscopy experiments with mixed lipid monolayers allowed confirmation of the specific binding of myristoylated recoverin to phosphatidylserine, whereas the extent of penetration of recoverin in phosphatidylserine monolayers was estimated by ellipsometry. A model has thus been proposed for the membrane binding of myristoylated recoverin in the presence of calcium.

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.
