Abstract
Analysis of the genome of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 reveals that it lacks the gene, ccaA, which encodes the bonafide carboxysomal, β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA) CcaA. However, the carboxysome enriched fraction of Anabaena PCC7120 exhibits CA activity. Bioinformatic analysis reveals that the N-terminal region of the carboxysome protein CcmM has high sequence and structural similarity to the γ-class CA of Methanosarcina thermophila. Recombinantly expressed CcmM is found to be inactive in in-vitro CA assays. E. coli cell extracts containing an overexpressed form of CcmM comprised of the N-terminal 209 amino acids (CcmM209) are also inactive. However, CcmM209 displays CA activity after incubation with the thiol oxidizing agent diamide or when bound to an affinity matrix. It appears that CcmM is indeed a functional γ-CA which is active under oxidizing condition. It is hypothesized that the C-terminal RbcS like domain in CcmM may regulate activity by allowing CcmM activation only when sequestered within the carboxysome.

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 it
