Indication for differential sorting of the rat v-SNARE splice isoforms VAMP-1a and -1b
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins are essential constituents of the intracellular trafficking machinery. The variable C-terminus in the 2 rat VAMP-1 splice isoforms VAMP-1a and -1b potentially acts as a sorting signal, because similar changes at the C-terminal end of a human VAMP-1 splice isoform resulted in its sorting to mitochondria. To evaluate the differences in the subcellular localization of these two v-SNARE proteins, VAMP-1a and -1b proteins tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) were expressed in HeLa, COS-7, and MDCK cells and evaluated by conventional confocal as well as total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. Regions consistent with the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus demonstrated a major overlap of both signals. In the periphery, vesicular structures were observed that mainly expressed one of the 2 isoforms. Within our experimental settings, we could not observe sorting of any of the 2 isoforms to mitochondria or peroxisomes, whereas both isoforms were found expressed in a minor subset of singular vesicles, which sporadically appeared to co-localize with the exocyst marker EXOC3/Sec6. Because vesicular structures were seen that expressed only one of the two splice variants, it is possible that VAMP-1a and VAMP-1b are sorted to distinct cellular compartments that require further characterization.

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.
