Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 43.1 (very 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.

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Transcription factor (PubMed:29967452). Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to promoter regions of target genes, such as PDCD4, PIK3IP1, MXD4, PNRC1, and RFX5 (PubMed:29967452, PubMed:34197623). Plays a role in natural killer (NK) cell maintenance and immunity (PubMed:29967452). May play a role in the process of ciliogenesis in the neural tube and neural tube closure (By similarity)

Subunit structure

Interacts (via PxLPxI/L motif) with RFXANK (via ankyrin repeats) (PubMed:25752541). Interacts (via PxLPxI/L motif) with ANKRA2 (via ankyrin repeats) (PubMed:25752541)
