Structural basis for Gemin5 decamer-mediated mRNA binding
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gemin5 in the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) complex serves as the RNA-binding protein to deliver small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) to the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Sm complex via its N-terminal WD40 domain. Additionally, the C-terminal region plays an important role in regulating RNA translation by directly binding to viral RNAs and cellular mRNAs. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of the Gemin5 C-terminal region, which adopts a homodecamer architecture comprised of a dimer of pentamers. By structural analysis, mutagenesis, and RNA-binding assays, we find that the intact pentamer/decamer is critical for the Gemin5 C-terminal region to bind cognate RNA ligands and to regulate mRNA translation. The Gemin5 high-order architecture is assembled via pentamerization, allowing binding to RNA ligands in a coordinated manner. We propose a model depicting the regulatory role of Gemin5 in selective RNA binding and translation. Therefore, our work provides insights into the SMN complex-independent function of Gemin5.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
