PACS-1 Interacts with TRPC3 and ESyt1 to Mediate Protein Trafficking while Promoting SOCE and Cooperatively Regulating Hormone Secretion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Corticotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in a regulated manner to promote the production of cortisol and androgens. The process of ACTH secretion is partly mediated by the phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1 (PACS-1); however, the underlying mechanisms behind this regulation remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated PACS-1 interactions with the short transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) calcium transporter and the extended synaptotagmin-1 (ESyt1) endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane tethering protein. Importantly, PACS-1 promoted interactions between TRPC3 and ESyt1 and regulated their plasma membrane localization. Lastly, we demonstrated that PACS-1 is required for a proper store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) response and that ESyt1 regulates ACTH secretion through an unknown mechanism regulated by PACS-1. Overall, our study provides new insights into the physiological role PACS-1 plays in modulating intracellular calcium levels and regulating ACTH secretion in corticotropic cells.

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.
