In situ architecture of the nuclear pore complex of the higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The nucleus is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, which contains nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). While NPCs have been well studied in vertebrates, yeast and algae, in situ structural data for higher plants is lacking. Here we show that individual nucleoporins of Arabidopsis thaliana and humans exhibit high structural similarity. We report an in situ NPC structure of higher plants, derived from A. thaliana root protoplasts using cryo-electron tomography, subtomogram averaging and homology-based integrative modelling. We present the AtNPC model based on predictions of A. thaliana nucleoporins (NUPs), supported by mass spectrometry. Here the AtNPC scaffold contains one Y-complex ring at the cytosolic and two at the nuclear ring. The AtNPC contains prominent NUP155 connector elements that are conserved in human NPCs but not in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii NPCs. Our model suggests that the ELYS homologue HOS1 plays an important role in the head-to-tail connection of Y-complexes in AtNPCs.

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.
