The mean pLDDT of this model is 65.3 (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 | 16% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 13% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 59% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 12% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
High-copy suppressor of mutant alleles of ATP-dependent RNA helicase DBP5, which is involved in mRNA export from the nucleus. It may also play an important role in a late stage of NAB2-mRNA export
Interacts with GLE1, NUP42, NAB2, ZDS1 and probably DBP5. Forms a complex with GLE1 and NAB2
Cytoplasm, Nucleus, nuclear pore complex, Nucleus membrane
