The mean pLDDT of this model is 86.1 (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 | 63% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 24% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of the transcription coactivator SAGA complex. SAGA acts as a general cofactor required for essentially all RNA polymerase II transcription (PubMed:10864329, PubMed:25216679, PubMed:28918903). At the promoters, SAGA is required for transcription pre-initiation complex (PIC) recruitment. It influences RNA polymerase II transcriptional activity through different activities such as TBP interaction (via core/TAF module) and promoter selectivity, interaction with transcription activators (via Tra1/SPT module), and chromatin modification through histone acetylation (via HAT module) and deubiquitination (via DUB module) (PubMed:18950642, PubMed:7972120). SAGA preferentially acetylates…
Component of the 1.8 MDa SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) complex, which is composed of 19 subunits TRA1, SPT7, TAF5, NGG1/ADA3, SGF73, SPT20/ADA5, SPT8, TAF12, TAF6, HFI1/ADA1, UBP8, GCN5, ADA2, SPT3, SGF29, TAF10, TAF9, SGF11 and SUS1 (PubMed:9224714, PubMed:9674426, PubMed:9885573). The SAGA complex is composed of 4 modules, namely the HAT (histone acetyltransferase) module (GCN5, ADA2,…
