The mean pLDDT of this model is 95.8 (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 | 97% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 2% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 1% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 1% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Associated with ribosomes but is not required for canonical ribosome function and has extra-ribosomal functions (PubMed:14567916, PubMed:17218275, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:32669547). Component of the GAIT (gamma interferon-activated inhibitor of translation) complex which mediates interferon-gamma-induced transcript-selective translation inhibition in inflammation processes (PubMed:23071094). Upon interferon-gamma activation and subsequent phosphorylation dissociates from the ribosome and assembles into the GAIT complex which binds to stem loop-containing GAIT elements in the 3'-UTR of diverse inflammatory mRNAs (such as ceruplasmin) and suppresses their translation (PubMed:23071094).

Component of the 60S ribosome (PubMed:12962325, PubMed:14567916, PubMed:23636399, PubMed:32669547). Component of the GAIT complex (PubMed:15479637). Interacts with EIF4G1 (PubMed:17218275)
