Abstract
As an important insect immune response, apoptosis plays a critical role in the interaction between baculoviruses and insect hosts. Previous reports have identified inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins in both insects and baculoviruses, but the relationship between these proteins is still not clearly understood. Here, we found that insect IAP proteins were clustered with baculovirus IAP3, suggesting that the baculovirus iap3 gene might be derived from the Lepidoptera or Diptera. We demonstrated that Bombyx mori inhibitor of apoptosis (Bmiap) gene had an inhibitory effect on apoptosis in silkworm cells. Further analysis of the effects of Bmiap genes on the proliferation of B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) showed that both the Bmiap and BmNPV iap genes increased BmNPV proliferation after BmNPV infected silkworm cells. Our results also indicated that BmNPV IAP1 and IAP2 directly interacted with BmIAP in silkworm cells, implying that the Bmiap gene might be hijacked by BmNPV iap genes during BmNPV infection. Taken together, our results provide important insights into the functional relationships of iap genes, and improve our knowledge of apoptosis in baculoviruses and insect hosts.

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 it
