Abstract
Polarized cell growth in plants is maintained under the strict control and exquisitely choreographed balance of exocytic and endocytic membrane trafficking. The pollen tube has become a model system for rapid polar growth in which delivery of cell wall material and membrane recycling are controlled by membrane trafficking. Endocytosis plays an important role that is poorly understood. The plant AP180 N-Terminal Homolog (ANTH) proteins are putative homologs of Epsin 1 that recruits clathrin to phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) containing membranes to facilitate vesicle budding during endocytosis. Two Arabidopsis ANTH encoded by the genes AtAP180 and AtECA2 are highly expressed in pollen tubes. Pollen tubes from T-DNA inserted knockout mutant lines display significant morphological defects and unique pectin deposition. Fluorescent tagging reveals organization into dynamic foci located at the lateral flanks of the pollen tube. This precisely defined subapical domain coincides which clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and PIP2 localization. Using a liposome-protein binding test, we showed that AtECA2 protein and ANTH domain recombinant proteins have strong affinity to PIP2 and phosphatidic acid containing liposomes in vitro. Taken together these data suggest that Arabidopsis ANTH proteins may play an important role in CME, proper cell wall assembly and morphogenesis.

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
