What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Deubiquitinase that specifically removes linear ('Met-1'-linked) polyubiquitin chains to substrates and acts as a regulator of angiogenesis and innate immune response (PubMed:23708998, PubMed:23746843, PubMed:23806334, PubMed:23827681, PubMed:24726323, PubMed:24726327, PubMed:26997266, PubMed:27523608, PubMed:27559085, PubMed:28919039, PubMed:30804083, PubMed:35170849, PubMed:35587511, PubMed:38630025, PubMed:38652464). Required during angiogenesis, craniofacial and neuronal development by regulating the canonical Wnt signaling together with the LUBAC complex (PubMed:23708998). Acts as a negative regulator of NF-kappa-B by regulating the activity of the LUBAC complex (PubMed:23746843,…

Subunit structure

Interacts (via the PUB domain) with RNF31 (via the PIM motif); the interaction is direct (PubMed:23708998, PubMed:23746843, PubMed:24726323, PubMed:24726327, PubMed:27523608). Interacts with DVL2 (By similarity)
