Lectin AtGAL1 interacts with high‐mannose glycoform of the purple acid phosphatase AtPAP26 secreted by phosphate‐starved <i>Arabidopsis</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Among 29 predicted Arabidopsis purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), AtPAP26 functions as the principle extracellular and intracellular PAP isozyme that is upregulated to recycle and scavenge Pi during Pi‐deprivation or leaf senescence. Our companion paper documented the copurification of a secreted, high‐mannose AtPAP26‐S2 glycoform with AtGAL1 (At1g78850), a Pi starvation‐inducible (PSI), and Galanthus nivalis agglutinin‐related (mannose‐binding) and apple domain lectin. This study tests the hypothesis that AtGAL1 binds AtPAP26‐S2 to modify its enzymatic properties. Far‐western immunodot blotting established that AtGAL1 readily associates with AtPAP26‐S2 but not the low mannose AtPAP26‐S1 glycoform nor other secreted PSI PAPs (i.e., AtPAP12 or AtPAP25). Analytical gel filtration indicated that 55‐kDa AtGAL1 and AtPAP26‐S2 polypeptides associate to form a 112‐kDa heterodimer. Microscopic imaging of transiently expressed, fluorescent protein‐tagged AtGAL1, and associated bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays demonstrated that (a) like AtPAP26, AtGAL1 also localizes to lytic vacuoles of Pi‐deprived Arabidopsis and (b) both proteins interact in vivo. AtGAL1 preincubation significantly enhanced the acid phosphatase activity and thermal stability of AtPAP26‐S2 but not AtPAP26‐S1. We hypothesize that AtGAL1 plays an important role during Pi deprivation through its interaction with mannose‐rich glycans of AtPAP26‐S2 and consequent positive impact on AtPAP26‐S2 activity and stability.

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.
