The mean pLDDT of this model is 72.1 (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 | 18% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 53% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 11% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 19% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component the THO subcomplex of the TREX complex, which operates in coupling transcription elongation to mRNA export. The THO complex is recruited to transcribed genes and moves along the gene with the elongating polymerase during transcription. THO is important for stabilizing nascent RNA in the RNA polymerase II elongation complex by preventing formation of DNA:RNA hybrids behind the elongating polymerase. It functions in cotranscriptional formation of an export-competent messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP) by facilitating the loading of ATP-dependent RNA helicase SUB2 and the mRNA export factor YRA1 along the nascent mRNA
Component of the THO complex, which is composed of HPR1, MFT1, THO2 and THP2. Together with SUB2, TEX1 and YRA1, THO forms the transcription/export (TREX) complex. THO associates with DNA and RNA in vitro
