The mean pLDDT of this model is 55.8 (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 | 12% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 6% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 27% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 55% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:21282530). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:21282530). Binds to histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) or at 'Lys-27' (H3K27me3) (By similarity). Plays a role in the lineage differentiation of the germ layers in embryonic development (By similarity). Involved in sexual development, acting as activator of NR5A1…
Component of a PRC1-like complex (PubMed:12167701, PubMed:19636380, PubMed:21282530). The composition of the PRC1 complex may differ between the PRC1 complex in pluripotent embryonic stem cells containing RNF2, CBX7 and PCGF2, and the PRC1 complex in differentiating cells containing RNF2, CBX2, CBX4 and BMI1 (By similarity). May interact with H3C15, H3C1 and RNF2 (PubMed:18927235). Interacts…
