Gene Group (FlyBase)
UNCLASSIFIED RING DOMAIN UBIQUITIN LIGASES -
This group comprises RING domain ubiquitin ligases that do not classify under other groups in FlyBase.
Pathway (FlyBase)
NEGATIVE REGULATORS OF IMD SIGNALING PATHWAY -
Negative regulators of the immune deficiency (Imd) pathway result in the decreased activity of the NFκB-like transcription factor Rel in the nucleus. Negative regulators are important in preventing damage to the host from over-activation of the pathway; preventing inappropriate triggering or terminating the response.

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.
