D-amino-acid oxidase
Gene: DAO
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 199 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 Tryptophan (W) at position 199 (R199W, p.Arg199Trp). 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 large size and aromatic (W) 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 Found in a patient with ALS; decreased function in D-serine catabolic process; 3- to 4-fold decrease in Vmax with D-serine, D-alanine and D-proline as substrates; impairs FAD binding; decreased affinity for D-serine, D-alanine and D-proline; leads to tetramerization of the holoenzyme; leads to the formation of ubiquitinated protein aggregates; promotes induction of apoptosis; causes cell death in motor neurons in a manner at least partially dependent on the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 199 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 347 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help VNCTGVWAGALQRDPLLQPG R GQIMKVDAPWMKHFILTHDP 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.
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 – 347 D-amino-acid oxidase
Binding site 182 – 182
Mutagenesis 183 – 183 G -> R. Abolishes activity. Impairs the ability to bind the FAD cofactor. Impairs targeting to peroxisomes and results in abnormal peroxisomal morphology. Leads to the formation of ubiquitinated protein aggregates and the induction of apoptosis.
Mutagenesis 219 – 219 P -> L. Increases catalytic efficiency and inhibition by benzoate.
Beta strand 196 – 206
