What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Required for correct functioning of the GINS complex, a complex that plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA replication, and progression of DNA replication forks (PubMed:17417653). GINS complex is a core component of CDC45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase, the molecular machine that unwinds template DNA during replication, and around which the replisome is built (PubMed:32453425, PubMed:34694004, PubMed:34700328, PubMed:35585232)

Subunit structure

Component of the GINS complex which is a heterotetramer of GINS1, GINS2, GINS3 and GINS4 (PubMed:17417653, PubMed:17545466, PubMed:17557111, PubMed:17652513, PubMed:32453425). Forms a stable subcomplex with GINS3. GINS complex interacts with DNA primase in vitro (PubMed:17417653, PubMed:17545466, PubMed:17557111, PubMed:17652513). Component of the CMG helicase complex, a hexameric ring of…
