UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot P22061: Variant p.Val120Ile

Protein-L-isoaspartate(D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase
Gene: PCMT1
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 120 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 Valine (V) to Isoleucine (I) at position 120 (V120I, p.Val120Ile). 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 Similar physico-chemical property. Both residues are medium size and hydrophobic. 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).

Polymorphism: help The allele frequencies for the polymorphism at codon 120 differ between ethnic groups; in the Caucasian population Ile-120 is present at a frequency of 0.45, while it is found at a frequency of 0.88 and 0.81 in the Asian and the African populations respectively. Val-120 is found at a frequency of 0.55 in the Caucasians, 0.12 and 0.19 in the Asian and African populations respectively. The Ile-120 variant has higher specific activity and thermostability than the Val-120 variant. The Val-120 variant has a higher affinity for protein substrates. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 120 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 227 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help VGCTGKVIGIDHIKELVDDS V NNVRKDDPTLLSSGRVQLVV 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.
