The mean pLDDT of this model is 73.3 (confident 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.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 42% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 10% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 26% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 23% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Transcription factor that promotes photomorphogenesis in light. Acts downstream of the light receptor network and directly affects transcription of light-induced genes. Specifically involved in the blue light specific pathway, suggesting that it participates in transmission of cryptochromes (CRY1 and CRY2) signals to downstream responses. In darkness, its degradation prevents the activation of light-induced genes
Heterodimer; heterodimerizes with HY5 via the leucine-zipper domains. Interacts with COP1 WD40 domain (PubMed:12023303). Interacts with BBX24/STO and BBX25/STH (PubMed:23733077)
