The mean pLDDT of this model is 79.4 (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 | 54% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 22% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 6% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 19% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. It is specifically involved in a terminal step of poly(A)+ mRNA transport through the NPC probably by binding the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DBP5 and GFD1 at the cytoplasmic side of the NPC. These interactions are thought to be important for the dissociation of transport proteins such as the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) NAB2 from exported mRNA
Component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC constitutes the exclusive means of nucleocytoplasmic transport. NPCs allow the passive diffusion of ions and small molecules and the active, nuclear transport receptor-mediated bidirectional transport of macromolecules such as proteins, RNAs, ribonucleoparticles (RNPs), and ribosomal subunits across the nuclear envelope. Due to its 8-fold…
