The mean pLDDT of this model is 91.3 (very high 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 | 84% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 7% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 3% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Regulatory subunit of the histone acetylase B (HAT-B) complex. The complex acetylates 'Lys-12' of histone H4 which is required for telomeric silencing. HAT2 is required for high affinity binding of the acetyltransferase to histone H4, for the nuclear location of HAT1 and for the HAT1-HIF1 interaction. Alone, it is unable to bind to H4, requiring HAT1 for high affinity interaction with the histone tail. HAT2 also has a HAT1 independent function in life-span regulation
Component of the HAT-B complex composed of at least HAT1 and HAT2. In the cytoplasm, this complex binds to the histone H4 tail. In the nucleus, the HAT-B complex has an additional component, the histone H3/H4 chaperone HIF1
