| **UniProt** | O76024 · WFS1_HUMAN |

## Structural Context

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **AlphaFold model** | AF-O76024-F1, v6 |
| **pLDDT at residue 737** | **88.19** — well-folded |
| **Domain** | C-terminal lumenal domain (653-869) |
| **Position context** | C-terminal lumenal domain · position 737 (pLDDT 88). |
| **IDR flag** | No — pLDDT above 50 threshold |

**UniProt features at this position:**

  - Chain: 1-890 Wolframin
  - Topological domain: 653-869 Lumenal
  - Natural variant: 737-737 in dbSNP:rs147834269

> Position 737 — the E737 hub residue itself. Neighbors: ALA738 (2.4 Å), GLY736 (2.5 Å — G736R/G736S!), HIS766 (3.8 Å — same H766 as C765R neighbor).

E737K is the variant AT the hub position that G736R, G736S, and C765R all contact. Charge-flip disrupts the entire microregion's electrostatic geometry. Three convergent Atlas variants point at E737 from their neighbor analyses; now we have the variant at the hub itself.

AM 0.18 under-call; WFS1 spectrum confirms.

## Research Path Decision Tree

```
ΔΔG < 2  + binding site affected   →  CATEGORY 3 — docking experiments
ΔΔG 2–4                            →  CATEGORY 2 — pharmacological chaperones
ΔΔG > 4                            →  CATEGORY 1 — gene therapy
pLDDT < 50                         →  CATEGORY 5 — IDR, experimental only
Stable fold + functional site hit  →  CATEGORY 4 — site-specific docking
```

## Final Schema Categorization

**Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted**

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call, HUB residue).</strong> ΔΔG ≈ 0. AlphaMissense 0.18 below threshold but multi-phenotype confirms pathogenicity.<br/><br/>Mechanism: charge-flip at E737 hub. Therapeutic: this is the second hub residue in the Atlas (with E431). Drug discovery targets E737 microregion.

**Why this card matters.** E737K identifies E737 as a second multi-variant hub residue (G736R, G736S, C765R, E737K all converge here).
