What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Chromatin reader protein that recognizes and binds acetylated histones and plays a key role in transmission of epigenetic memory across cell divisions and transcription regulation (PubMed:20871596, PubMed:23086925, PubMed:23317504, PubMed:29176719, PubMed:29379197). Remains associated with acetylated chromatin throughout the entire cell cycle and provides epigenetic memory for postmitotic G1 gene transcription by preserving acetylated chromatin status and maintaining high-order chromatin structure (PubMed:22334664, PubMed:23317504, PubMed:23589332). During interphase, plays a key role in regulating the transcription of signal-inducible genes by associating with the P-TEFb complex and…

Subunit structure

Interacts with p53/TP53; the interaction is direct (PubMed:23317504). Interacts (via CTD region) with CDK9 and CCNT1, acting as an associated component of P-TEFb complex (PubMed:16109376, PubMed:16109377, PubMed:23317504, PubMed:24360279). Interacts with RELA (when acetylated at 'Lys-310') (PubMed:19103749). Interacts (via NET domain) with NSD3, CHD4, BICRA and ATAD5 (PubMed:21555454,…
