What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Involved in synaptic functions in photoreceptor cells, the signal transduction in immune cells as a Src family kinase activator, endosome recycling, the uptake of bacteria and endocytosis, protein trafficking in sensory neurons and as lipid-binding chaperone with specificity for a diverse subset of myristoylated proteins. Specifically binds the myristoyl moiety of a subset of N-terminally myristoylated proteins and is required for their localization. Binds myristoylated GNAT1 and is required for G protein localization and trafficking in sensory neurons. Probably plays a role in trafficking proteins in photoreceptor cells. Plays important roles in mediating Src family kinase signals for the…

Subunit structure

Interacts with CABP4; in the absence of calcium (By similarity). Interacts with DNM1; leading to a decrease of DNM1 GTPase activity (By similarity). May interact with GTP-bound ARL1. Interacts with ARL2 and ARL3 (GTP-bound forms); this promotes the release of myyristoylated cargo proteins (PubMed:22960633, PubMed:30945270). Found in a complex with ARL3, RP2 and UNC119; RP2 induces hydrolysis of…
