Structural Context

Position 775 sits in the lumenal domain. Neighbors: GLU776 (2.4 Å — partner of R708 salt-bridge), LYS774 (2.5 Å), ARG708 (3.3 Å — direct R708 contact!), ALA806 (3.7 Å — partner of A806P).

The wild-type phenylalanine at 775 likely participates in the R708-E776 salt-bridge geometry through cation-π interaction between F775's ring and R708's guanidinium. Replacing F775 with valine eliminates this cation-π contribution and reduces the aromatic packing supporting the R708-E776 salt bridge.

The |ΔΔG| of 1.57 reflects substantial fold cost. AlphaMissense 0.941 + Wolfram 1 confirm severe consequence. F775V joins R708L, R708C, A806P as multi-variant convergence on the 775-806 microregion.

Amino-acid chemistry
Phenylalanine (F) → Valine (V) — aromatic hydrophobic replaced by branched aliphatic. Aromatic π-system lost; volume reduced.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 775 (pLDDT 94 — high confidence).

Druggability Assessment

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable. |ΔΔG| = 1.57 — fold survives at meaningful cost. AlphaMissense 0.941 + Wolfram 1 confirm severe consequence.

Mechanism: loss of F775 cation-π contribution to R708-E776 salt-bridge geometry. Therapeutic: same R708-E776-F775 microregion (multi-variant target).

Why this matters

F775V is the fourth variant in the 707-708-775-806 microregion (with V707F, R708L, R708C, A806P). Drug discovery here has multi-variant convergence.
