Doxorubicin, a DNA intercalator, inhibits transcription elongation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic drug for cancer that intercalates into nucleosome-free regions at promoters. Doxorubicin was reported to result in loss of histone H3 trimethylated lysine 4 (H3K4me3). To further explore doxorubicin's mechanism of action, we determined the genomic location of the binding sites of doxorubicin in leukemic cells. The effect of doxorubicin intercalation into the chromatin of leukemic cells on histone modifications was also determined. We show that doxorubicin binding sites were present in the nucleosome-free regions associated with regulatory regions (promoters, enhancers, and super-enhancers) and in the gene body (introns). Doxorubicin treatment did not alter the levels of H3K4me3 and many other histone modifications but significantly lowered H2B ubiquitinated at lysine 120 (H2BK120ub), an elongation-dependent modification. Lastly, we demonstrate that doxorubicin results in the degradation of the largest subunit (RPB1) of RNA polymerase II.

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.
