Dynamic interaction of poly(A)-binding protein with the ribosome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Eukaryotic mRNA has a cap structure and a poly(A) tail at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The cap structure is recognized by eIF (eukaryotic translation initiation factor) 4 F, while the poly(A) tail is bound by poly(A)-binding protein (PABP). PABP has four RNA recognition motifs (RRM1-4), and RRM1-2 binds both the poly(A) tail and eIF4G component of eIF4F, resulting in enhancement of translation. Here, we show that PABP interacts with the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits dynamically via RRM2-3 or RRM3-4. Using a reconstituted protein expression system, we demonstrate that wild-type PABP activates translation in a dose-dependent manner, while a PABP mutant that binds poly(A) RNA and eIF4G, but not the ribosome, fails to do so. From these results, functional significance of the interaction of PABP with the ribosome is discussed.

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.
