What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which binds polysumoylated chains covalently attached to proteins and mediates 'Lys-6'-, 'Lys-11'-, 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of those substrates and their subsequent targeting to the proteasome for degradation (PubMed:14987998, PubMed:15707587, PubMed:18408734). Regulates the degradation of several proteins including PML and the transcriptional activator PEA3 (PubMed:15707587, PubMed:20943951). Involved in chromosome alignment and spindle assembly, it regulates the kinetochore CENPH-CENPI-CENPK complex by targeting polysumoylated CENPI to proteasomal degradation (By similarity). Regulates the cellular responses to hypoxia and heat shock…

Subunit structure

Homodimer (via RING-type zinc finger domain) (PubMed:20681948). Interacts with GSC2 (By similarity). Interacts with AR/the androgen receptor and TBP (PubMed:9710597). Interacts with TCF20 (By similarity). Interacts with PATZ1. Interacts with TRPS1; negatively regulates TRPS1 transcriptional repressor activity. Interacts with PML (isoform PML-1, isoform PML-2, isoform PML-3, isoform PML-4,…
