EPSIN1 and MTV1 define functionally overlapping but molecularly distinct <i>trans</i> -Golgi network subdomains in <i>Arabidopsis</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Epsin-like proteins, which are accessory proteins to APs facilitating vesicle biogenesis. By comprehensive molecular, cellular, and genetic analysis of the EPSIN gene family, we identify EPSIN1 and MODIFIED TRANSPORT TO THE VACUOLE1 (MTV1) as its only TGN-associated members. Despite their large phylogenetic distance, they perform overlapping functions in vacuolar and secretory transport. By probing their relationship with AP complexes, we find that they define two molecularly independent pathways: While EPSIN1 associates with AP-1, MTV1 interacts with AP-4, whose function is required for MTV1 recruitment. Although both EPSIN1/AP-1 and MTV1/AP-4 pairs reside at the TGN, high-resolution microscopy reveals them as spatially separate entities. Our results strongly support the hypothesis of molecularly, functionally, and spatially distinct subdomains of the plant TGN and suggest that functional redundancy can be achieved through parallelization of molecularly distinct but functionally overlapping pathways.

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.
