What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Bifunctional enzyme that acts both as an endopeptidase and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent monooxygenase (PubMed:28847961, PubMed:28982940, PubMed:29459673, PubMed:29563586). Endopeptidase that cleaves histones N-terminal tails at the carboxyl side of methylated arginine or lysine residues, to generate 'tailless nucleosomes', which may trigger transcription elongation (PubMed:28847961, PubMed:28982940, PubMed:29459673). Preferentially recognizes and cleaves monomethylated and dimethylated arginine residues of histones H2, H3 and H4. After initial cleavage, continues to digest histones tails via its aminopeptidase activity (PubMed:28847961, PubMed:29459673). Upon DNA damage, cleaves the N-terminal…

Subunit structure

Can form homodimers (via JmjC domain) (PubMed:24100311, PubMed:28982940). Found in a complex with RCCD1 (PubMed:24981860). Interacts (via N-terminus) with RCCD1 (via N-terminus); this interaction stimulates H3K36me3 and H3K36me2 demethylation (PubMed:24981860, PubMed:28455245). Interacts (via JmjC domain) with H3C1 (PubMed:28982940). Interacts with FBXL3 and PSMD2 (By similarity). Interacts with…
