UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q14654: Variant p.Gln52Arg

ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11
Gene: KCNJ11
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 52 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 Glutamine (Q) to Arginine (R) at position 52 (Q52R, p.Gln52Arg). 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 polar (Q) to large size and basic (R) 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 PNDM2; with neurologic features; produces larger current and more change in ATP sensitivity than mutation associated with mild disease C-201. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 52 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 390 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help RARFVSKKGNCNVAHKNIRE Q GRFLQDVFTTLVDLKWPHTL 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 – 390 ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11
Topological domain 1 – 68 Cytoplasmic
Alternative sequence 1 – 87 Missing. In isoform 2.
Mutagenesis 64 – 64 V -> M. Displays gain of function; increased open state stability, reduced ATP sensitivity and increased channel activity; almost completely abolishes high affinity sensitivity to glibenclamide, an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive potassium channels.
Helix 52 – 56
