Structural Context

Position 765 sits in wolframin's C-terminal lumenal domain. The AlphaFold model places C765 within 5 Å of HIS766 (2.4 Å — partner of D771H Atlas card region), PRO764 (2.5 Å), GLU737 (3.2 Å — same E737 as G736R/G736S neighbor), ALA738 (4.0 Å), and TYR739 (4.2 Å).

C765 was the partner residue identified in the C733G Atlas card (3.5 Å distance — possible disulfide). C765R replaces the cysteine at the OTHER end of this potential disulfide. The combination of C733G (cysteine removed) + C765R (cysteine replaced by arginine) at the inferred disulfide pair confirms both cysteines are pathogenic when mutated.

The |ΔΔG| of 1.06 reflects substantial fold cost. AlphaMissense's 0.991 (near-maximum) confirms severe functional consequence.

Amino-acid chemistry
Cysteine (C) → Arginine (R) — thiol-bearing residue replaced by large positively-charged guanidinium. Loss of disulfide potential plus charge introduction.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 765 in the ER lumen (pLDDT 89).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable. |ΔΔG| = 1.06 — fold survives. AlphaMissense 0.991 confirms severe functional consequence.

Mechanism is loss of the inferred C733-C765 disulfide bond plus charge introduction. Therapeutic strategy: site-directed at the C733-C765 microregion (same target as C733G).

Why this matters

C765R + C733G are the two pathogenic variants at opposite ends of the inferred C733-C765 disulfide. Two convergent variant targets at the same disulfide pair.
