UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q15831: Variant p.Val66Met

Serine/threonine-protein kinase STK11
Gene: STK11
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 66 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help US 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 Methionine (M) at position 66 (V66M, p.Val66Met). 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 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 cervical carcinoma; somatic mutation. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 66 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 433 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help IGKYLMGDLLGEGSYGKVKE V LDSETLCRRAVKILKKKKLR 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 – 430 Serine/threonine-protein kinase STK11
Domain 49 – 309 Protein kinase
Region 45 – 90 Sufficient for interaction with SIRT1
Binding site 78 – 78
Modified residue 48 – 48 N6-acetyllysine
Mutagenesis 48 – 48 K -> Q. No effect on basal nucleocytoplasmic localization, but fails to translocate to the cytoplasm when coexpressed with SIRT1.
Mutagenesis 48 – 48 K -> R. Enhanced phosphorylation at Thr-336 and Ser-428, enhanced cytoplasmic localization and increased kinase activity.
Mutagenesis 74 – 74 R -> A. Impaired formation of a heterotrimeric complex with STRADA and CAB39; when associated with A-204.
Mutagenesis 78 – 78 K -> I. Loss of kinase activity, leading to greatly reduced autophosphorylation.
Mutagenesis 78 – 78 K -> M. Loss of kinase activity, leading to reduced autophosphorylation and acting as a dominant-negative mutant.
Beta strand 62 – 68
