Cystinosin
Gene: CTNS
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 346 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 Aspartate (D) to Asparagine (N) at position 346 (D346N, p.Asp346Asn). 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 medium size and acidic (D) to medium size and polar (N) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 1 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).

Variant description: help In CTNS; atypical; slightly decreased cystine transport. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 346 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 367 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help WTLIFGDPTKFGLGVFSIVF D VVFFIQHFCLYRKRPGYDQL 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 23 – 367 Cystinosin
Transmembrane 332 – 354 Helical
Binding site 346 – 346
Mutagenesis 335 – 335 K -> A. Nearly abolished cystine transport.
Mutagenesis 335 – 335 K -> Q. Abolished steady-state transport current. Decreased midpoint potential. Impaired dielectric distance. Accelerated the time course.
Mutagenesis 346 – 346 D -> N. Abolished pH-dependent conformational shift.
Mutagenesis 362 – 362 G -> A. Does not affect localization to the lysosome.
Mutagenesis 363 – 363 Y -> A. Strongly reduced but not abolished localization to the lysosome, leading to partial relocation to the cell membrane.
Mutagenesis 364 – 364 D -> A. Does not affect localization to the lysosome.
Mutagenesis 365 – 365 Q -> A. Does not affect localization to the lysosome.
Mutagenesis 366 – 366 L -> A. Strongly reduced but not abolished localization to the lysosome, leading to partial relocation to the cell membrane.
Helix 339 – 355
