What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and transfers it to its substrates (PubMed:10373495, PubMed:16772533, PubMed:19204938, PubMed:19233847, PubMed:19325566, PubMed:19591933, PubMed:22645313, PubMed:24273172, PubMed:24728990, PubMed:30020076). Several substrates have been identified including the BMAL1, ARC, LAMTOR1, RAD23A and RAD23B, MCM7 (which is involved in DNA replication), annexin A1, the PML tumor suppressor, and the cell cycle regulator CDKN1B (PubMed:10373495, PubMed:19204938, PubMed:19325566, PubMed:19591933, PubMed:22645313, PubMed:24728990, PubMed:30020076). Additionally, may function as a…

Subunit structure

The active form is probably a homotrimer. Binds UBQLN1 and UBQLN2. Interacts with the 26S proteasome. Interacts with BPY2. Interacts with HIF1AN, MAPK6 and NEURL4; interaction with MAPK6 may be mediated by NEURL4. Interacts with the proteasomal subunit PSMD4. Interacts with ESR1 and WBP2 (PubMed:16772533, PubMed:21642474). Interacts with BMAL1 (PubMed:24728990). Interacts with ARC (By similarity)
