UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 255 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is small/hydrophobic (alanine — methyl sidechain); the mutant is small hydrophobic (valine — branched). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Final Schema Categorization

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted

<strong>Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.55 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.55 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.384. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
