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.

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against Sep2 that is transfected into S2 treated with Listeria monocytogenes reveals Sep2 to be involved in Listeria monocytogenes entry and intracellular growth.

        dsRNA directed against this gene causes defects in cytokinesis when tested in an RNAi screen in S2 cells.

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

        Area matching Drosophila Septin 2 gene, Acc. No. U28966.

        A complex of septin polypeptides is isolated that bind and hydrolyse GTP and form filaments. Their high degree of conservation, ubiquitous expression and proven role in cytokinesis suggests septins are certain to be important players in regulating cell architecture and function. Septins alone can form regular filamentous polymers, since filament formation is likely to be central to their localisation and function.
