Fatty links between multisystem proteinopathy and small VCP-interacting protein
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multisystem proteinopathy (MSP) is a rare, dominantly inherited disorder that includes a cluster of diseases, including frontotemporal dementia, inclusion body myopathy, and Paget's disease of bone. MSP is caused by mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP). Patients with the same mutation, even within the same family, can present with a different combination of any or all of the above diseases, along with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The pleiotropic effects may be linked to the greater than 50 VCP co-factors that direct VCP's many roles in the cell. Small VCP-interacting protein (SVIP) is a small protein that directs VCP to autophagosomes and lysosomes. We found that SVIP directs VCP localization to lysosomes in an acylation-dependent manner. We demonstrate that SVIP is myristoylated at Glycine 2 and palmitoylated at Cysteines 4 and 7. Acylation of SVIP is required to mediate cell death in the presence of the MSP-associated VCP variant (R155H-VCP), whereas blocking SVIP myristoylation prevents cytotoxicity. Therefore, SVIP acylation may present a novel target in MSP.

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.
