What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Required for the insertion of some light harvesting chlorophyll-binding proteins (LHCP) into the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Required for the insertion of LHCB1, LHCB4.1 and LHCB5 proteins into thylakoid membrane, while it is not required for insertion of proteins PsbX, PsbW and PsbY

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Forms a complex with CPFTSY and the signal recognition particle (cpSRP). Interacts (via C-terminus) with CAO/cpSRP43 (via chromodomains 2 and 3) and with LHCP. Interacts with PAM68, SECE1 and SCY1 (PubMed:12217076, PubMed:14517205, PubMed:15988575, PubMed:17513500, PubMed:20018841, PubMed:20828566, PubMed:20923938, PubMed:21832051). Interacts with TERC (PubMed:24612058). Interacts…
