What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Substrate-recognition component of a Cul2-RING (CRL2) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex of the DesCEND (destruction via C-end degrons) pathway, which recognizes a C-degron located at the extreme C terminus of target proteins, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). The C-degron recognized by the DesCEND pathway is usually a motif of less than ten residues and can be present in full-length proteins, truncated proteins or proteolytically cleaved forms (By similarity). The CRL2(FEM1B) complex specifically recognizes proteins ending with -Gly-Leu-Asp-Arg, such as CDK5R1, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Also acts as a regulator of the…

Subunit structure

Component of a CRL2 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, also named ECS (Elongin BC-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) complex, composed of CUL2, Elongin BC (ELOB and ELOC), RBX1 and substrate-specific adapter FEM1B (PubMed:32941802). Homooligomer (By similarity). Interacts with PPM1F and PHTF1 (PubMed:15601915). Interacts with the death domain of FAS/TNFRSF6 and TNFRSF1A. Interacts with CHEK1 (By…
