Structural Context

Position 133 sits in cytoplasmic domain. Neighbors: LEU132 (2.5 Å), ALA134 (2.5 Å), GLN103 (3.5 Å — long-range), LEU130 (3.8 Å). Adjacent to A126T microregion (A126T at 4.5 Å away in sequence; both in same broader cytoplasmic pocket).

Replacing A133 with threonine introduces polarity into a hydrophobic cytoplasmic pocket. The Q103 long-range contact at 3.5 Å suggests the variant T133 hydroxyl could H-bond with Q103, but the geometric cost is substantial. |ΔΔG| 1.83 close to Cat 2 threshold reflects this.

AlphaMissense 0.878 + Wolfram-like + Cataract 41 confirm severe consequence.

Amino-acid chemistry
Alanine (A) → Threonine (T) — small methyl-bearing hydrophobic replaced by small polar hydroxyl.
Position in the protein
N-terminal cytoplasmic domain · position 133 (pLDDT 92).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (near Cat 2 boundary). |ΔΔG| = 1.83 — closest to Cat 2 threshold in this batch. AlphaMissense 0.878 confirms severe consequence.

Mechanism: polarity introduction into a hydrophobic cytoplasmic pocket. Therapeutic: same N-terminal microregion as A126T (close in sequence and structure).

Why this matters

A133T + A126T together establish the 126-133 cytoplasmic microregion as a multi-variant target.
