What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Promotes the release of prenylated target proteins from cellular membranes (PubMed:9712853). Modulates the activity of prenylated or palmitoylated Ras family members by regulating their subcellular location (PubMed:22002721, PubMed:23698361). Required for normal ciliary targeting of farnesylated target proteins, such as INPP5E (PubMed:24166846). Required for RAB28 localization to the cone cell outer segments in the retina (By similarity). Modulates the subcellular location of target proteins by acting as a GTP specific dissociation inhibitor (GDI) (By similarity). Increases the affinity of ARL3 for GTP by several orders of magnitude. Stabilizes ARL3-GTP by decreasing the nucleotide…

Subunit structure

Interacts with the prenylated catalytic subunits of PDE6, an oligomer composed of two catalytic chains (PDE6A and PDE6B) and two inhibitory chains (gamma); has no effect on enzyme activity but promotes the release of the prenylated enzyme from cell membrane (By similarity). Interacts with prenylated GRK1 and GRK7 (By similarity). Interacts with prenylated Ras family members, including RAP2A and…
