UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot O95831: Variant p.Arg422Trp

Apoptosis-inducing factor 1, mitochondrial
Gene: AIFM1
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 422 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LP/P [Disclaimer] 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 Arginine (R) to Tryptophan (W) at position 422 (R422W, p.Arg422Trp). 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 large size and basic (R) to large size and aromatic (W) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help -3 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 422 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 613 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help PNVELAKTGGLEIDSDFGGF R VNAELQARSNIWVAGDAACF 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 102 – 613 Apoptosis-inducing factor 1, mitochondrial
Region 134 – 483 FAD-dependent oxidoreductase
Binding site 438 – 438
Alternative sequence 44 – 613 Missing. In isoform 6.
Alternative sequence 325 – 613 Missing. In isoform 4.
Mutagenesis 413 – 430 EIDSDFGGFRVNAELQAR -> AIDSDFGGFAVNAELQAA. Disrupts dimerization. Lower efficiency in stabilizing charge-transfer complexes upon coenzyme reduction.
