Variant information Variant position: help 149 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help 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: help From Arginine (R) to Isoleucine (I) at position 149 (R149I, p.Arg149Ile). 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 large size and basic (R) to medium size and hydrophobic (I) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help -3 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 Decreased DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity; does not affect secondary structure as shown by circular dichroism. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 149 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 335 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help EDKLNHHQRIGLKYFGDFEK R IPREEMLQMQDIVLNEVKKV 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 – 335 DNA polymerase beta
Binding site 149 – 149
Binding site 149 – 149
Binding site 149 – 149
Binding site 149 – 149
Modified residue 152 – 152 Omega-N-methylarginine; by PRMT6
Mutagenesis 152 – 152 R -> C. Severely decreased function in base-excision repair. Severely decreased DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. No effect on 5'-dRP lyase activity. No effect on DNA binding. No effect on structure shown by circular dichroism. No effect on interaction with APEX1, FEN1 and PCNA.
Mutagenesis 152 – 152 R -> K. Slight effect. Abolishes methylation by PRMT6 and impairs the polymerase activity; when associated with K-83.
