The structural principles underlying molybdenum insertase complex assembly
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Within the cell, the trace element molybdenum (Mo) is only biologically active when complexed either within the nitrogenase-specific FeMo cofactor or within the molybdenum cofactor (Moco). Moco consists of an organic part, called molybdopterin (MPT) and an inorganic part, that is, the Mo-center. The enzyme which catalyzes the Mo-center formation is the molybdenum insertase (Mo-insertase). Mo-insertases consist of two functional domains called G- and E-domain. The G-domain catalyzes the formation of adenylated MPT (MPT-AMP), which is the substrate for the E-domain, that catalyzes the actual molybdate insertion reaction. Though the functions of E- and G-domain have been elucidated to great structural and mechanistic detail, their combined function is poorly characterized. In this work, we describe a structural model of the eukaryotic Mo-insertase Cnx1 complex that was generated based on cross-linking mass spectrometry combined with computational modeling. We revealed Cnx1 to form an asymmetric hexameric complex which allows the E- and G-domain active sites to align in a catalytic productive orientation toward each other.

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.
