Abstract
MCOLN1 and MCOLN3 are two Ca2+ release channels residing in the endolysosomal membrane. They are activated by phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) and/or PtdIns(3,5)P2. Their activities are also regulated by lumenal pH, with low pH enhancing that of MCOLN1 and high pH increasing that of MCOLN3. Recent studies further suggest that upon starvation, both MCOLN1 and MCOLN3 are activated by a reduction in MTORC1 activity; their activation in turn regulates MTORC1 activity to facilitate macroautophagic/autophagic flux. On the one hand, MCOLN3 appears to be recruited to phagophores where it is activated by PtdIns3P and high pH to inhibit MTORC1 activity using a positive feedback mechanism, thereby increasing autophagy induction. On the other hand, MCOLN1 is activated by PtdIns(3,5)P2 and low pH in (auto)lysosomes to increase MTORC1 activity using a negative feedback mechanism, promoting autophagic lysosome reformation. The cell uses the two feedback mechanisms to ensure efficient autophagic flux to survive adverse conditions such as nutrient deprivation and bacterial infection.

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 it
