Solution structures of the <scp>SH</scp>3 domains from Shank scaffold proteins and their interactions with Cav1.3 calcium channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Shank proteins are abundant scaffold proteins in the postsynaptic density (PSD) region of brain synapses. Mutations in Shank proteins are associated with autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. To gain insights into Shank protein interactions at the PSD, we determined the solution structures of the src homology 3 (SH3) domains of all three mammalian Shank proteins. Our findings indicate that they have identical and typical SH3 folding motifs, but unusual target-binding pockets. An investigation into the interaction between the Shank SH3 domains and the proline-rich region of the Cav1.3 calcium channel revealed an atypical interaction in which the highly acidic specificity binding pocket of the SH3 domains binds to a Cav1.3 region containing a cluster of three Arg residues. Our study provides insights into Shank SH3-mediated interactions.

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.
