What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Versatile protein that is involved in regulation of different cellular pathways implicated in membrane trafficking. Involved in regulation of the COPI-dependent retrograde transport from Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum by associating with the NRZ complex; the function is dependent on its binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) (PubMed:16799551, PubMed:18552835, PubMed:20643123, PubMed:24056303, PubMed:28306502). During autophagy acts as a regulatory subunit of the alternative PI3K complex II (PI3KC3-C2) that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and is believed to be involved in maturation of autophagosomes and endocytosis. Activates lipid kinase…

Subunit structure

Component of the PI3K (PI3KC3/PI3K-III/class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) complex II (PI3KC3-C2) in which the core composed of the catalytic subunit PIK3C3, the regulatory subunit PIK3R4 and BECN1 is associated with UVRAG; in the complex interacts directly with BECN1. PI3KC3-C2 can associate with further regulatory subunits such as RUBCN and probably SH3GLB1/Bif-1 (PubMed:16799551,…
