UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q14849: Variant p.Gly216Ala

StAR-related lipid transfer protein 3
Gene: STARD3
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 216 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LB/B The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Glycine (G) to Alanine (A) at position 216 (G216A, p.Gly216Ala). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Change from glycine (G) to small size and hydrophobic (A) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 0 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Sequence information Variant position: help 216 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 445 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help LLFSGALSEGQFYSPPESFA G SDNESDEEVAGKKSFSAQER The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.

Sequence annotation in neighborhood: help The regions or sites of interest surrounding the variant. In general the features listed are posttranslational modifications, binding sites, enzyme active sites, local secondary structure or other characteristics reported in the cited references. The "Sequence annotation in neighborhood" lines have a fixed format:
  • Type: the type of sequence feature.
  • Positions: endpoints of the sequence feature.
  • Description: contains additional information about the feature.
TypePositionsDescription
Chain 1 – 445 StAR-related lipid transfer protein 3
Topological domain 170 – 445 Cytoplasmic
Domain 46 – 217 MENTAL
Modified residue 209 – 209 Phosphoserine
Mutagenesis 209 – 209 S -> A. Impairs VAPA and VAPB interaction. Does not affect endoplasmic reticulum membrane location of VAPA, VAPB and MOSPD2. Is unable to make ER-endosome contacts. Does not accumulate cholesterol in late endosomes (LEs). Does not interact with MOSPD2.
Mutagenesis 209 – 209 S -> D. Does not affect VAPA and VAPB interactions; when associated with A-210. Does not interact with VAPA and VAPB. Recruits VAPA and VAPB around the endosome; when associated with A-210. Restores cholesterol accumulation in late endosomes; when associated with A-210. Moderately interacts with MOSPD2. Almost impairs interaction with MOSPD2; when associated with A-210.
Mutagenesis 210 – 210 P -> A. Does not affect VAPA and VAPB interactions; when associated with D-209. Improve VAPA interaction. Does not interact with VAPA and VAPB. Recruits VAPA and VAPB around the endosome; when associated with D-209.Restores cholesterol accumulation in late endosomes; when associated with A-209. Almost impairs interaction with MOSPD2; when associated with A-209.
Mutagenesis 219 – 219 N -> A. Does not affect localization to late endosomes.
