What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Contributes to the neddylation of all cullins by transferring NEDD8 from N-terminally acetylated NEDD8-conjugating E2s enzyme to different cullin C-terminal domain-RBX complexes and may play a role in the cell cycle progression by regulating the SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase complex, after UV damage (PubMed:18823379, PubMed:19617556, PubMed:23201271, PubMed:27542266). At the cell membrane, can promote and as well inhibit cullins neddylation (PubMed:19617556, PubMed:25349211, PubMed:26906416)

Subunit structure

Part of a complex containing DCUN1D3, CUL3 and RBX1 (PubMed:19617556). Interacts (via the DCUN1 domain) with the unneddylated cullins: interacts with CUL1, CUL2, CUL3, CUL4A, CUL4B and CUL5; these interactions promote the cullin neddylation and the identity of the cullin dictates the affinity of the interaction (PubMed:23201271, PubMed:26906416, PubMed:27542266). Interacts preferentially with…
