SLC12A4/SLC12A6; A Target Enabling Package
Bibliographic record
Abstract
KCC1 (SLC12A4) and KCC3 (SLC12A6) are co-transporters of potassium and chloride, and members of cation-chloride co-transporter (CCC; or Solute Carrier 12) family. They regulate chloride level and cell volume via export of potassium and chloride ions. KCC1 plays an important role in sickle cell diseases, where its activity leads to sickling of red blood cells, a key pathological feature of the disease. Hence, symptoms of this common genetic disorder can be significantly reduced by inactivation of KCC1. KCC3 is highly expressed in neurones, where its inherited defect can lead to a rare form of peripheral neuropathy, Andermann Syndrome. This TEP presents the structures of KCC1 and KCC3 in both wild-type and inactivated states, revealing structural mechanisms for their regulation. From these structures, we have identified ligands ATP and magnesium ion, and have subsequently used biophysical assay and mass spectrometry to characterise them. These can be exploited to develop small molecule modulators to treat sickle cell diseases, one of the most common genetic disorders with unmet needs, as well as neurological disorders.

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.
