The mean pLDDT of this model is 71.4 (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 | 40% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 21% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 33% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Regulates telomere length and function. Required for the repression of telomere-adjacent gene expression and for normal meiosis or sporulation. It may be a negative regulator of the telomere-replicating enzyme, telomerase, or may protect against activation of telomerase-independent pathways of telomere elongation. It may be involved in the interactions between chromosomes and spindle proteins, disruption of these interactions would lead to defective meiosis
Interacts with taf1 via the Myb domain, and ccq1
