Grc3 programs the essential endoribonuclease Las1 for specific RNA cleavage
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Significance Ribonucleases are molecular scissors that catalyze the cleavage of RNA phosphodiester bonds and play essential roles in RNA processing and maturation. Precursor ribosomal RNA (rRNA) must be processed by several ribonucleases, including the endonuclease Las1, in a carefully orchestrated manner to generate the mature ribosomal subunits. Las1 is essential for cell viability, and mutations in the mammalian gene have been linked with human disease, underscoring the importance of this enzyme. Here, we show that, on its own, Las1 has weak activity; however, when associated with its binding partner, the polynucleotide kinase Grc3, Las1 is programmed to efficiently cleave pre-rRNA at the C2 site. Together, Grc3 and Las1 assemble into a higher-order complex exquisitely primed for cleavage and phosphorylation of RNA.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
