The mean pLDDT of this model is 93.7 (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 | 85% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 8% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 1% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Plasma membrane-associated small GTPase which cycles between an active GTP-bound and an inactive GDP-bound state (PubMed:24352656). In its active state binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses. Involved in epithelial cell polarization processes. Regulates the bipolar attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores before chromosome congression in metaphase. Regulates cell migration (By similarity). In neurons, plays a role in the extension and maintenance of the formation of filopodia, thin and actin-rich surface projections. Required for DOCK10-mediated spine formation in Purkinje cells and hippocampal neurons (PubMed:25851601). Facilitates filopodia…
Interacts with CDC42EP1, CDC42EP2, CDC42EP3, CDC42EP4, CDC42EP5, CDC42SE1, CDC42SE2, PARD6A, PARD6B and PARD6G (in a GTP-dependent manner) (PubMed:10490598, PubMed:10934474). Interacts with activated CSPG4 and with BAIAP2 (By similarity). Interacts with DOCK11/Zizimin2; the interaction activates CDC42 by exchanging GDP for GTP (PubMed:15710388, PubMed:16968698). Interacts with DOCK9; the…
