What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Substrate adapter of E3 ligase complexes mediating ufmylation, the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like modifier UFM1 to substrate proteins, and which is involved in various processes, such as ribosome recycling and reticulophagy (also called ER-phagy) (PubMed:23152784, PubMed:30635284, PubMed:32851973, PubMed:36121123, PubMed:36543799, PubMed:37595036, PubMed:38383785, PubMed:38383789). As part of the UREL complex, plays a key role in ribosome recycling by promoting mono-ufmylation of RPL26/uL24 subunit of the 60S ribosome (PubMed:38383785, PubMed:38383789). Ufmylation of RPL26/uL24 occurs on free 60S ribosomes following ribosome dissociation: it weakens the junction between…

Subunit structure

Substrate adapter component of the UFM1 ribosome E3 ligase (UREL) complex, composed of UFL1, DDRGK1 and CDK5RAP3 (PubMed:20164180, PubMed:20228063, PubMed:32851973, PubMed:36121123, PubMed:36543799, PubMed:37595036, PubMed:38383785, PubMed:38383789). Interaction with UFL1 anchors CDK5RAP3 in the cytoplasm, preventing its translocation to the nucleus which allows expression of the CCND1 cyclin…
