Development of a chemical probe to enable characterization of the casein kinase 1γ subfamily
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The casein kinase 1γ (CK1γ) subfamily, while severely understudied, is implicated in diverse disease-relevant pathways, including WNT signaling and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. While genetic tools exist to study CK1γ, the selective inhibition of CK1γ through pharmacological means remains underexplored. Chemical probes, or potent and selective inhibitors, remain one of the most powerful pharmacological tools for uncovering protein biology. Herein, we developed several novel assays for assessing target engagement with the CK1γ subfamily in cells. Enabled by these assays, we conducted a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) campaign to develop the first chemical probe, SGC-CK1γ-1, for the CK1γ subfamily. SGC-CK1γ-1, which was developed alongside a structurally related negative control compound, potently and selectively inhibited the CK1γ kinases in living cells, plus inhibited both WNT signaling and human cytomegalovirus replication.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
