What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Microtubule plus-end tracking protein that promotes the stabilization of dynamic microtubules (PubMed:26003921). Involved in the nucleation of noncentrosomal microtubules originating from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Required for the polarization of the cytoplasmic microtubule arrays in migrating cells towards the leading edge of the cell. May act at the cell cortex to enhance the frequency of rescue of depolymerizing microtubules by attaching their plus-ends to cortical platforms composed of ERC1 and PHLDB2 (PubMed:16824950). This cortical microtubule stabilizing activity is regulated at least in part by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Also performs a similar stabilizing…

Subunit structure

Interacts with microtubules (PubMed:11290329, PubMed:15631994, PubMed:15955847, PubMed:26003921). Interacts with MAPRE1; probably required for targeting to the growing microtubule plus ends (PubMed:15631994, PubMed:19632184, PubMed:26003921). Interacts with CLIP2, ERC1, MAPRE3, PHLDB2 and RSN (PubMed:11290329, PubMed:15631994). The interaction with ERC1 may be mediated by PHLDB2…
