Upregulation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) RNA translation by the nucleocapsid protein
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The role of coronaviral nucleocapsid (N) protein in regulating viral translation remains poorly understood. Here, we showed that the N protein of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) enhances the translation of both virus-like genomic RNA (gRNA) and messenger RNA. Further characterization of the gRNA translation upregulation showed that the N-terminal domain (NTD) + Linker region plays a major role. The stem-loop 1 in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) and the budged stem loop in the 3′UTR are required for viral translation upregulation by PEDV N protein. The signaling kinase Akt exists in three isoforms. We found that Akt1 enhances viral gRNA translation upregulation by the N protein dependent on its kinase activity. We further showed an interaction between Akt1 and PEDV N, that is abolished by the NTD + Linker region. This suggested that the enhancing effect of Akt1 on translation upregulation by the N protein does not require interaction between these two proteins. • PEDV nucleocapsid (N) protein increases viral gRNA and mRNA translation. • The stem-loop 1 in the 5′UTR has a positive role in viral gRNA translation upregulation by the N protein. • The budged stem loop in the 3′UTR is required for the regulation of viral gRNA translation by PEDV N protein. • Akt1 significantly enhances viral translation upregulation by the N protein. • PEDV N interacts with Akt1 and the interaction is not required for translation upregulation.

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.
