What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex involved in interferon response and anterograde Golgi to endosome transport. The BCR(KLHL20) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex mediates the ubiquitination of DAPK1, leading to its degradation by the proteasome, thereby acting as a negative regulator of apoptosis (PubMed:20389280). The BCR(KLHL20) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex also specifically mediates 'Lys-33'-linked ubiquitination (PubMed:24768539). Involved in anterograde Golgi to endosome transport by mediating 'Lys-33'-linked ubiquitination of CORO7, promoting interaction between CORO7 and EPS15, thereby facilitating actin polymerization and post-Golgi…

Subunit structure

Component of the BCR(KLHL20) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, at least composed of CUL3, KLHL20 and RBX1. Interacts with PDZ-RhoGEF/ARHGEF11, DAPK1, PML and CORO7. Interacts with F-actin. Interacts with IFN-gamma (IFNG). Interacts (via kelch repeats) with IVNS1ABP (via kelch repeats); this interaction blocks the assembly of CUL3-KLHL20 complex (PubMed:25619834)
