Characterization of a polypeptide‐binding site in the <scp>DEAD</scp> Motor of the SecA <scp>ATP</scp>ase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We coupled peptides from a CNBr digest of signal-sequenceless maltose-binding protein (MBP) to a surface plasmon resonance chip. SecA-N95, SecA-N68, and SecA-DM (which consists of only the DEAD Motor domains NBD1 and NBD2) bound to the immobilized peptides; ADP weakened the binding. SecA-DM, which lacks the 'preprotein cross-linking domain' (PPXD), displayed the most extensive binding, while an MBP-PPXD chimera showed no binding, demonstrating that the PPXD does not contribute to the binding. We characterized the sequence specificity using oriented peptide libraries; these results enabled synthesis of a 20-residue peptide that was used to recapitulate the results obtained with MBP-derived peptides. This study shows that there is a promiscuous and nucleotide-modulated peptide-binding site in the DEAD Motor domains of SecA.

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.
