SHCA PHOSPHOTYROSINE DERIVED SIGNALING IS REQUIRED FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF CARDIAC FUNCTION
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: ShcA, a scaffolding protein, generates signalspecificity by docking to activated tyrosine kinases through distinct phosphotyrosine recognition motifs, while mediating signal complexity through formation of diverse downstream phosphotyrosine complexes. Mammalian ShcA encodes 3 isoforms having a modular architecture of a PTB domain and SH2 domain, separated by a CH1 region containing tyrosine phosphorylation sites important in Ras-MAPK activation. Objective and Methods: ShcA has a necessary role in cardiovascular development^1,2. However, the role of ShcA in the adult myocardium is largely unknown, also unclear, is how ShcA uses its signaling modules to mediate downstream signaling. To this end, cre/loxP technology was employed to generate a conditional ShcA allele series. The myocardial specific ShcA KO (ShcA CKO) and myocardial restricted domain mutant KI mice were generated using cre expressed from the mlc2v locus^3 coupled with the ShcA floxed allele and in combination with the individual ShcA domain mutant KI alleles^2. Results: ShcACKO mice develop a dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype by 3 months of life, typified by depressed cardiac function and enlarged chamber dimensions. Isolated cardiomyocytes from ShcA CKO mice have preserved contractility indicating an uncoupling between global heart function and single myocyte contractile mechanics. Force-length experiments suggest that the loss of shcAmediates the uncoupling through deregulation of extracellular matrix interactions. Subsequent, analysis of the ShcA myocardial restricted domain mutant KImice suggests that ShcA requires PTB domain docking to upstream tyrosine kinases and subsequent phosphorylation of the CH1 tyrosines important for downstream signaling. Conclusion: ShcA is required for proper maintenance of cardiac function, possibly regulation of extracellular matrix interactions. References: 1. Lai KV, Pawson AJ.

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.
