Structure
Protein 3D structure   (Predicted by AlphaFold)   (AlphaFold entry Q7PLL3)

If you don't see a structure in the viewer, refresh your browser.
Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

                eIF-4B is incorrectly located to 2Rh in FlyBase - it's actually in 3Lh (see data on the CP000217 scaffold in FBrf0200204). (Statement true as of FB2010_06.)

                (Coulthard and Alm, 2010.7.21)

                A major phosphoprotein which co-purifies with eIF-4E on m7GTP-Sepharose and shows decreased phosphorylation and association with eIF-4E after heat shock has been identified. This phosphoprotein may correspond to eIF-4B.
