Author response: Dissociation of the nuclear basket triggers chromosome loss in aging yeast
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In many organisms, aging is a clear risk factor for increased rates of chromosome mis-segregation, the main source of aneuploidy. Here, we report that old yeast mother cells lose chromosomes by partitioning them asymmetrically to their daughter cells together with the pre-existing (old) Sindle Pole Body (centrosome equivalent in yeast). Strikingly, remodelling of the NPC and the displacement of its nuclear basket triggered these asymmetric segregation events. Concomitantly, basket displacement also caused unspliced pre-mRNAs to leak to the cytoplasm. We show that removing the introns of three genes involved in chromosome segregation was sufficient to fully suppress chromosome loss in old cells. Furthermore, promoting pre-mRNA leakage in young cells also caused asymmetric chromosome partition and loss through the same three introns. Therefore, we propose that basket displacement from NPCs and its ensuing effects on pre-mRNA quality control are a key trigger of aging phenotypes such as aneuploidy.

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.
