Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 61.8 (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.

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Acts as an accessory subunit for the core Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which mediates histone H3K27 (H3K27me3) trimethylation on chromatin leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene (PubMed:15225548, PubMed:29499137, PubMed:31959557). Plays a role in nucleosome localization of the PRC2 complex (PubMed:29499137)

Subunit structure

Self-associates (PubMed:15225548). Associates with the PRC2 complex, which consists of the core components EED, EZH1 or EZH2, SUZ12, and RBBP4, and various combinations of accessory subunits including AEBP2, JARID2, PHF19, MTF2 and EPOP (PubMed:12351676, PubMed:15225548, PubMed:29499137, PubMed:31959557). Found in a monomeric PRC2.2 (class 2) complex consisting of at least SUZ12, RBBP4, AEBP2…
