The mean pLDDT of this model is 89.1 (confident overall). pLDDT is AlphaFold's per-residue confidence score from 0 to 100. In MolViewer, choose the B-factor color scheme to color the model by pLDDT, because AlphaFold stores it in the B-factor column.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 68% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 25% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 2% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 5% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
May play a role in the transport of polypeptides both across the mitochondrial membranes and into the endoplasmic reticulum. A functional difference between SSA1 and SSA2 proteins is expected. SSA1 can participate in the ATP-dependent disassembly of clathrin-coated vesicles
Binds human HTN3/histatin-5, a peptide from saliva, and mediates its fungicidal activity. Interacts with polyadenylate-binding protein PAB1 and Hsp70 chaperone SSA1 on translating ribosomes. Interacts with NAP1
