Remodelin Is a Cryptic Assay Interference Chemotype That Does Not Inhibit NAT10-Dependent Cytidine Acetylation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Remodelin is a putative small molecule inhibitor of the RNA acetyltransferase NAT10 which has shown preclinical efficacy in models of the premature aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). Here we evaluate remodelin's assay interference characteristics and effects on NAT10-catalyzed RNA cytidine acetylation. We find the remodelin chemotype constitutes a cryptic assay interference compound, which does not react with small molecule thiols but demonstrates protein reactivity in ALARM NMR and proteome-wide affinity profiling assays. Biophysical analyses find no direct evidence for interaction of remodelin with the NAT10 acetyltransferase active site. Cellular studies verify that N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a nonredundant target of NAT10 activity in human cell lines and find that this RNA modification is not affected by remodelin treatment in several orthogonal assays. These studies display the potential for remodelin's chemotype to interact with multiple protein targets in cells and indicate remodelin should not be applied as a specific chemical inhibitor of NAT10-catalyzed RNA acetylation.

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.
