What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Activates transcription from class II MHC promoters. Activation requires the activity of the MHC class II transactivator/CIITA. May regulate other genes in the cell. RFX binds the X1 box of MHC-II promoters (PubMed:10072068, PubMed:10725724, PubMed:9806546). May also potentiate the activation of RAF1 (By similarity)

Subunit structure

Forms homodimers (By similarity). The RFX heterotetrameric complex consists of 2 molecules of RFX5 and one each of RFXAP and RFX-B/RFXANK; with each subunit representing a separate complementation group. Interacts (via ankyrin repeats) with RFX5 (via PxLPxI/L motif); the interaction is direct. RFX forms cooperative DNA binding complexes with X2BP and CBF/NF-Y. RFX associates with CIITA to form…
