UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q05586: Variant p.Gly620Arg

Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 1
Gene: GRIN1
Variant information

Variant position:  620
The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.

Type of variant:  Disease [Disclaimer]
The variants are classified into three categories: Disease, Polymorphism and Unclassified.
  • Disease: Variants implicated in disease according to literature reports.
  • Polymorphism: Variants not reported to be implicated in disease.
  • Unclassified: Variants with uncertain implication in disease according to literature reports. Evidence against or in favor of a pathogenic role is limited and/or conflicting.

Residue change:  From Glycine (G) to Arginine (R) at position 620 (G620R, p.Gly620Arg).
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 glycine (G) to large size and basic (R)
The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.

BLOSUM score:  -2
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).

Involvement in disease:  Neurodevelopmental disorder with or without hyperkinetic movements and seizures, autosomal dominant (NDHMSD) [MIM:614254]: An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe mental retardation and developmental delay, absent speech, muscular hypotonia, dyskinesia, and hyperkinetic movements. Cortical blindness, cerebral atrophy, and seizures are present in some patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21376300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25167861, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25864721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27164704, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28095420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28228639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28389307}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
The name and a short description of the disease associated with the variant. For more information about the disease, the user can refer to OMIM, following the link provided after the disease acronym.

Variant description:  In NDHMSD; decreased localization to the plasma membrane of GRIN1/GRIN2B NMDA receptor complexes; changed glutamate-gated calcium ion channel activity; decreased activation by glutamate and glycine; decreased sensitivity to magnesium block; loss of function in calcium ion transmembrane import into cytosol.

Sequence information

Variant position:  620
The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.

Protein sequence length:  938
The length of the canonical sequence.

Location on the sequence:   ALTLSSAMWFSWGVLLNSGI  G EGAPRSFSARILGMVWAGFA
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: 
The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.

Sequence annotation in neighborhood:  
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.
