The mean pLDDT of this model is 57.4 (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 | 2% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 25% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 29% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 45% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Transcriptional regulator with dual roles as a coactivator and corepressor. Critical downstream regulatory target in the Hippo signaling pathway, crucial for organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis (PubMed:17974916, PubMed:18280240, PubMed:18579750, PubMed:21364637, PubMed:30447097). The Hippo signaling pathway core involves a kinase cascade featuring STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, along with its regulatory partner SAV1, which phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with their regulatory protein, MOB1. This activation leads to the phosphorylation and inactivation of the YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ (PubMed:18158288). Phosphorylation…
Part of a complex when phosphorylated that contains DSG3, PKP1, YAP1 and YWHAG; the complex is required for localization of DSG3 and YAP1 to the cell membrane in keratinocytes (PubMed:31835537). Binds to the SH3 domain of the YES kinase. Binds to WBP1 and WBP2 (PubMed:9202023). Binds, in vitro, through the WW1 domain, to neural isoforms of ENAH that contain the PPSY motif (By similarity).
