What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles (PubMed:16455647, PubMed:28636952). Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of FCER1A signaling and serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions (PubMed:11907092, PubMed:9285411, PubMed:9842885). Recognizes…

Subunit structure

Binds PTPN6 when phosphorylated (PubMed:9285411). Binds FCER1A and FCGR1A (PubMed:11907092, PubMed:9842885). Interacts with human cytomegalovirus/HHV-5 protein UL18 (PubMed:10591185). Interacts with peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M complex (PubMed:16455647). Interacts with peptide-bound HLA-F-B2M complex but not with peptide-free HLA-F open conformer. It does not probe the peptide sequence directly…
