The mean pLDDT of this model is 77.4 (confident overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 51% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 24% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 3% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 22% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
GTPase that plays a role in the elongation phase of protein synthesis by forming ternary complexes with GTP and aminoacyl-transfer RNAs (aa-tRNAs), and delivering aa-tRNAs to the ribosomal A site in a GTP-dependent manner. Is also able to deliver deacylated tRNA to the A site. Additionally, it is involved in RNA quality control; after GTP hydrolysis, which is not immediately followed by rapid peptide bond formation, GTPBP1 likely retains aa-tRNA in the A site and promotes exosomal degradation of faulty mRNAs engaged in 80S elongation complexes (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of circadian mRNA stability (By similarity)
Form complexes with GTP and aa-tRNAs; aa-tRNA binding stabilizes GTP binding and stimulates GTP hydrolysis (By similarity). Interacts with EXOSC2/RRP4, EXOSC3/RRP40, EXOSC5/RRP46, HNRNPD, HNRNPR and SYNCRIP. Identified in a complex with AANAT mRNA, but does not bind mRNA by itself (By similarity)
