Structural Context

Position 329 in TM1. Neighbors: ILE328 (2.5 Å), PHE330 (2.5 Å — F330-F331 cluster region; F331I!), ASN325 (3.6 Å — A325 in A326 region).

F329I loses aromatic. Adjacent to F331I (Atlas card). Both perturb the F329-F330-F331 aromatic cluster. AM 0.15 under-call; multi-phenotype confirms.

Amino-acid chemistry
Phenylalanine (F) → Isoleucine (I) — aromatic replaced by branched aliphatic.
Position in the protein
TM1 (residues 314–334) · position 329 near TM1 end (pLDDT 77).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable (AM under-call). |ΔΔG| 0.22. AlphaMissense 0.15 below threshold but multi-phenotype confirms.

Mechanism: aromatic loss in F329-F330-F331 TM1 cluster. Therapeutic: TM1 multi-variant target.

Why this matters

F329I + F331I — adjacent TM1 aromatic-loss variants in same F329-F330-F331 cluster.
