Each panel shows the predicted complex and its Predicted Alignment Error (PAE) heatmap which reports the confidence in the relative positions of residue pairs (blue = high to yellow = low confidence/flexible). Blue off-diagonal blocks indicate confident inter-domain positioning (i.e. a well-defined interface). A AtESD4 (orange)-AtCSM1 (lilac). A disordered region of ESD4 (residues 91–116) is suggested to mediate the interaction. The PAE indicates medium overall confidence (ipTM = 0.35, score often underestimated with coiled-coils). B AtBUB3 (purple)-AtKNL1 (pink). Two disordered KNL1 segments (260–275 and 403–421) are predicted to contact BUB3 (ipTM = 0.76). The location of the MELT-binding site described in yeast is indicated for comparison. No interaction is predicted with AtBUB3/AtBMF1 (aquamarine). C AtBMF1/MAD3 (aquamarine)-AtCENP-C (brown). The TPR domain of MAD3 (residues 1–150) is predicted to bind a disordered N-terminal region of CENP-C (residues 15–74) (ipTM = 0.65) consistent with the PAE signal. D AtCENP-E (green)-BUB3 (purple). A coiled-coil region of CENP-E (residues 1200–1225) is predicted to interact with BUB3 (ipTM = 0.70) with a coherent high confidence in the PAE.
