Structure of Ycf1p reveals the transmembrane domain TMD0 and the regulatory region of ABCC transporters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
channel, little is known about the structure of TMD0 in monomeric ABC transporters. Here, we present the structure of yeast cadmium factor 1 protein (Ycf1p), a homolog of human MRP1, determined by electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). A comparison of Ycf1p, SUR1, and a structure of MRP1 that showed TMD0 at low resolution demonstrates that TMD0 can adopt different orientations relative to the ABC core, including a ∼145° rotation between Ycf1p and SUR1. The cryo-EM map also reveals that segments of the regulatory (R) region, which links NBD1 to TMD2 and was poorly resolved in earlier ABCC structures, interacts with the L0 linker, NBD1, and TMD2. These interactions, combined with fluorescence quenching experiments of isolated NBD1 with and without the R region, suggest how posttranslational modifications of the R region modulate ABC protein activity. Mapping known mutations from MRP2 and MRP6 onto the Ycf1p structure explains how mutations involving TMD0 and the R region of these proteins lead to disease.

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.
