Structural Context

Position 243 in cytoplasmic domain. Neighbors: LEU244 (2.5 Å), ILE242 (2.5 Å), LYS193 (4.0 Å — long-range contact!). The K193 long-range contact suggests A243 sits in a structural element bringing distant sequence positions into contact.

|ΔΔG| 0.93 substantial for conservative substitution. AM 0.27 under-call; monogenic diabetes confirms pathogenicity.

Amino-acid chemistry
Alanine (A) → Valine (V) — small replaced by branched aliphatic. Conservative volume increase.
Position in the protein
N-terminal cytoplasmic domain · position 243 (pLDDT 86).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call). |ΔΔG| 0.93. AlphaMissense 0.27 below threshold but monogenic diabetes confirms pathogenicity.

Mechanism: volume mismatch perturbing K193 long-range contact. Therapeutic: site-directed at the 193-243 cross-fold geometry.

Why this matters

A243V demonstrates a long-range 50-residue contact (K193). The Atlas's neighbor analysis surfaces these cross-domain interactions.
