The mean pLDDT of this model is 89.3 (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 | 78% |
| 70 to 90 | Confident: backbone generally right | 14% |
| 50 to 70 | Low: treat with caution | 1% |
| Below 50 | Very low: often disordered regions | 7% |
What pLDDT means and how to read it
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which targets misfolded chaperone substrates towards proteasomal degradation (PubMed:10330192, PubMed:11146632, PubMed:11557750, PubMed:23990462, PubMed:26265139). Plays a role in the maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and promotes mitophagic removal of dysfunctional mitochondria; thereby acts as a protector against apoptosis in response to cellular stress (By similarity). Negatively regulates vascular smooth muscle contraction, via degradation of the transcriptional activator MYOCD and subsequent loss of transcription of genes involved in vascular smooth muscle contraction (By similarity). Promotes survival and proliferation of cardiac smooth muscle cells…
Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with BAG2 (PubMed:16169850). Interacts with E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes UBE2D1, UBE2D2 and UBE2D3 (PubMed:11557750). Detected in a ternary complex containing STUB1, HSPA1A and HSPBP1 (PubMed:15215316). Part of a complex composed of STUB1/CHIP, VCP/p97, CHRNA3, and UBXN2A that modulates the ubiquitination and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation…
