The mean pLDDT of this model is 56.8 (low 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 | 14% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 16% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 19% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 52% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Mitophagy-specific receptor that recruits the autophagic machinery to mitochondria and regulates selective degradation of mitochondria. Mitophagy contributes to regulate mitochondrial quantity and quality by eliminating the mitochondria to a basal level to fulfill cellular energy requirements and preventing excess ROS production. Recruits ATG11 to the surface of mitochondria. Also promotes autophagy-dependent peroxisome degradation
Interacts with ATG8 (PubMed:19619494, PubMed:21757540, PubMed:22308029). Interacts with ATG11; to recruit ATG11 to mitochondria (PubMed:19619494, PubMed:19619495, PubMed:21757540, PubMed:22308029, PubMed:38964378)
