CDHR5 splice isoform cooperation promotes apical targeting of the brush border cadherin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cadherin-related family member 5 (CDHR5) is an adhesion molecule that is highly enriched in the microvilli found on the surface of transporting epithelial cells of the gut and kidney. CDHR5 localizes to the distal tips of these microvilli as part of an adhesion complex that drives assembly of microvilli into a cohesive apical brush border, a hallmark feature of polarized transporting epithelial cells. Loss of CDHR5 correlates with poor prognosis of colon cancer patients, while forced over-expression of CDHR5 in colorectal cancer cell lines blocks their ability to form tumors in mice. Despite acting as an apparent tumor suppressor, how CDHR5 targets to the apical domain of transporting epithelial cells to exert its tumor suppressor effects is poorly understood. Here, we show that CDHR5 is expressed as three dominant splice isoforms in intestinal epithelial cells that differ only in the presence and composition of a membrane-proximal extracellular mucin-like domain. When present in the CDHR5 ectodomain, this mucin-like domain restricted targeting of the cadherin to apical microvilli. Importantly, we show that this restriction could be bypassed through apparent hetero-oligomer formation between the splice isoforms that have the mucin-like domain and the isoform that does not.

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.
