Model confidence (pLDDT)

The mean pLDDT of this model is 92.4 (very high 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

Substrate-recognition component of two distinct E3 ligase complexes, the SKP1-CUL1-FBXO44 complex and the CUL4B-DDB1-FBXO44 complex (PubMed:18203720, PubMed:25970626). The complex SCF(FBXO44) complex ubiquitinates and mediates BRCA1 degradation (PubMed:23086937). In association with cullin 4B/CUL4B and DDB1, mediates the ubiquitination of RGS2 leading to its degradation (PubMed:25970626). Additionally, regulates the pregnane X receptor/NR1I2 protein level by ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:37969738)

Subunit structure

Part of a SCF (SKP1-cullin-F-box) protein ligase complex. Interacts with SKP1 and CUL1. Interacts with CUL4B and DDB1 (PubMed:25970626). Interacts wwith BRCA1; this interaction mediates BRCA1 ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (PubMed:23086937). Interacts with RGS2; this interaction mediates RGS2 ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (PubMed:25970626). Interacts with PXR/NR1I2; this…
