A nuclear proteome localization screen reveals the exquisite specificity of Gpn2 in RNA polymerase biogenesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The GPN proteins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that are involved in the assembly and subsequent import of RNA polymerase II and III. In this study, we sought to ascertain the specificity of yeast GPN2 for RNA polymerases by screening the localization of a collection of 1350 GFP-tagged nuclear proteins in WT or GPN2 mutant cells. We found that the strongest mislocalization occurred for RNA polymerase II and III subunits and only a handful of other RNAPII associated proteins were altered in GPN2 mutant cells. Our screen identified Ess1, an Rpb1 C-terminal domain (CTD) prolyl isomerase, as mislocalized in GPN2 mutants. Building on this observation we tested for effects of mutations in other factors which regulate Rpb1-CTD phosphorylation status. This uncovered significant changes in nuclear-cytoplasmic distribution of Rpb1-GFP in strains with disrupted RNA polymerase CTD kinases or phosphatases. Overall, this screen shows the exquisite specificity of GPN2 for RNA polymerase transport, and reveals a previously unappreciated role for CTD modification in RNAPII nuclear localization.

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.
