Gene: PLD3
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 232 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 232 (V232M, p.Val232Met). 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 Found in patients with Alzheimer disease; uncertain significance; does not reduce either amyloid-beta levels or APP expression; no effect on protein maturation or trafficking to lysosomes; partial loss of dimer formation; decreased or complete loss of exonuclease activity toward mitochondrial CpG-rich ssDNA fragments resulting in DNA build-up in the endolysosomal compartment, increased TLR9 pro-inflammatory signaling and increased mitophagy; decreased exonuclease activity toward RNA substrate; decreased (S,S)- BMP synthase activity. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 232 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 490 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help FYLGSANMDWRSLTQVKELG V VMYNCSCLARDLTKIFEAYW 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.

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 – 490 5'-3' exonuclease PLD3
Topological domain 60 – 490 Lumenal
Binding site 218 – 218
Glycosylation 236 – 236 N-linked (GlcNAc...) asparagine
Disulfide bond 77 – 239
Disulfide bond 81 – 237
Mutagenesis 228 – 228 K -> R. Decreases exonuclease activity toward CpG-free or CpG-rich ssDNA substrates. Increases mitophagy rate. No effect on protein maturation or trafficking to lysosomes.
Mutagenesis 236 – 236 N -> S. Increases exonuclease activity toward CpG-free ssDNA substrates. Slightly decreases exonuclease activity toward a CpG-rich ATP6 ssDNA sequence. Loss of exonuclease activity toward a CpG-rich ND4L ssDNA sequence. Increases mitophagy rate. No effect on protein maturation or trafficking to lysosomes.
