Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 69.2 (low 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.

What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) which mediates microtubule nucleation (PubMed:38305685, PubMed:38609661, PubMed:39321809). The gTuRC regulates the minus-end nucleation of alpha-beta tubulin heterodimers that grow into microtubule protafilaments, a critical step in centrosome duplication and spindle formation (PubMed:38305685, PubMed:38609661, PubMed:39321809)

Subunit structure

Component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) consisting of TUBGCP2, TUBGCP3, TUBGCP4, TUBGCP5 and TUBGCP6 and gamma-tubulin TUBG1 or TUBG2 (PubMed:39321809, PubMed:38609661, PubMed:38305685). TUBGCP2, TUBGCP3, TUBGCP4, TUBGCP5 and TUBGCP6 assemble in a 5:5:2:1:1 stoichiometry; each is associated with a gamma-tubulin, thereby arranging 14 gamma-tubulins in a helical manner…
