The mean pLDDT of this model is 86.4 (confident 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.
| pLDDT band | Meaning | Share of residues |
|---|---|---|
| Above 90 | Very high: backbone and side chains are usually accurate | 53% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 37% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 9% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 2% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
Toxin secreted by the H1 type VI (H1-T6SS) secretion system into the periplasm of recipient cells. Degrades peptidoglycan via muramidase activity thereby helping itself to compete with other bacteria (PubMed:21776080). To protect itself, the bacterium synthesizes immunity protein Tsi3 that specifically interacts with and inactivates cognate toxin (PubMed:24025333)
Forms a heterotetramer with Tsi3 consisting of two Tse3 dimers and two Tsi3 dimers. Formation of the complex inactivates Tse3 enzymatic activity
