UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q9UNQ0: Variant p.Phe489Leu

Broad substrate specificity ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2
Gene: ABCG2
Variant information

Variant position:  489
The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.

Type of variant:  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:  From Phenylalanine (F) to Leucine (L) at position 489 (F489L, p.Phe489Leu).
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:  Change from large size and aromatic (F) to medium size and hydrophobic (L)
The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.

BLOSUM score:  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).

Polymorphism:  Genetic variations in ABCG2 define the blood group Junior system (JR) [MIM:614490]. Individuals with Jr(a-) blood group lack the Jr(a) antigen on their red blood cells. These individuals may have anti-Jr(a) antibodies in their serum, which can cause transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn. Although the clinical significance of the Jr(a-) blood group has been controversial, severe fatal hemolytic disease of the newborn has been reported. The Jr(a-) phenotype has a higher frequency in individuals of Asian descent, compared to those of European descent. The Jr(a-) phenotype is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.Genetic variations in ABCG2 influence the variance in serum uric acid concentrations and define the serum uric acid concentration quantitative trait locus 1 (UAQTL1) [MIM:138900]. Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to the development of gout, a common disorder characterized by tissue deposition of monosodium urate crystals as a consequence of hyperuricemia (PubMed:18834626, PubMed:19506252, PubMed:20368174). -
