What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Substrate-specific adapter of a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex required for cell cycle control, DNA damage response and translesion DNA synthesis. The DCX(DTL) complex, also named CRL4(CDT2) complex, mediates the polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation of CDT1, CDKN1A/p21(CIP1), FBH1, KMT5A and SDE2 (PubMed:16861906, PubMed:16949367, PubMed:16964240, PubMed:17085480, PubMed:18703516, PubMed:18794347, PubMed:18794348, PubMed:19332548, PubMed:20129063, PubMed:23478441, PubMed:23478445, PubMed:23677613, PubMed:27906959). CDT1 degradation in response to DNA damage is necessary to ensure proper cell cycle regulation of DNA replication (PubMed:16861906,…

Subunit structure

Component of the DCX(DTL) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex (also called CRL4(CDT2)), at least composed of CUL4 (CUL4A or CUL4B), DDB1, DTL/CDT2 and RBX1 (PubMed:16861906, PubMed:16949367, PubMed:17041588, PubMed:17085480, PubMed:18794347, PubMed:18794348, PubMed:23478441). Interacts with CDKN1A (PubMed:23213251). Interacts with DDB1 (PubMed:16949367, PubMed:23478445). Interacts with FBXO11;…
