Cooperative mechanics of PR65 scaffold underlies the allosteric regulation of the phosphatase PP2A
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PR65, a horseshoe-shaped scaffold composed of 15 HEAT (observed in Huntingtin, elongation factor 3, protein phosphatase 2A, and the yeast kinase TOR1) repeats, forms, together with catalytic and regulatory subunits, the heterotrimeric protein phosphatase PP2A. We examined the role of PR65 in enabling PP2A enzymatic activity with computations at various levels of complexity, including hybrid approaches that combine full-atomic and elastic network models. Our study points to the high flexibility of this scaffold allowing for end-to-end distance fluctuations of 40-50 Å between compact and extended conformations. Notably, the intrinsic dynamics of PR65 facilitates complexation with the catalytic subunit and is retained in the PP2A complex enabling PR65 to engage the two domains of the catalytic subunit and provide the mechanical framework for enzymatic activity, with support from the regulatory subunit. In particular, the intra-repeat coils at the C-terminal arm play an important role in allosterically mediating the collective dynamics of PP2A, pointing to target sites for modulating PR65 function.

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.
