What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Required for pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome (PubMed:11991638, PubMed:12226669, PubMed:22961380, PubMed:28076346, PubMed:28502770, PubMed:29301961, PubMed:29360106). As a component of the minor spliceosome, involved in the splicing of U12-type introns in pre-mRNAs (Probable). Promotes exon-junction complex (EJC) assembly (PubMed:22959432, PubMed:22961380). Hinders EIF4A3 from non-specifically binding RNA and escorts it to the splicing machinery to promote EJC assembly on mature mRNAs. Through its role in EJC assembly, required for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Subunit structure

Component of the pre-catalytic spliceosome B and the catalytic spliceosome C complexes (PubMed:11991638, PubMed:22961380, PubMed:28076346, PubMed:28502770, PubMed:29301961, PubMed:29360106). Component of the minor spliceosome, which splices U12-type introns (PubMed:33509932). Interacts with EIF4A3 and PRPF19 in an RNA-independent manner. Direct interaction with EIF4A3 is mediated by the MIF4G…
