What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Component of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), which transduces signals from growth factors to pathways involved in proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, lipogenesis and anabolic output (PubMed:15467718, PubMed:16919458, PubMed:16962653, PubMed:17043309, PubMed:21806543, PubMed:28264193, PubMed:28968999, PubMed:30837283, PubMed:35926713). In response to growth factors, mTORC2 phosphorylates and activates AGC protein kinase family members, including AKT (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3), PKC (PRKCA, PRKCB and PRKCE) and SGK1 (PubMed:16919458, PubMed:16962653, PubMed:21806543, PubMed:28264193, PubMed:28968999, PubMed:30837283, PubMed:35926713). In contrast to mTORC1, mTORC2 is…

Subunit structure

Component of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), consisting in two heterotretramers composed of MTOR, MLST8, RICTOR and MAPKAP1/SIN1 (PubMed:16919458, PubMed:16962653, PubMed:28264193, PubMed:29424687, PubMed:29567957, PubMed:33378666, PubMed:34519268, PubMed:35926713). The mTORC2 core complex associates with PRR5/PROTOR1 and/or PRR5L/PROTOR2 (PubMed:29424687). Contrary to…
