Structural Context

Position 810 sits in wolframin's C-terminal lumenal domain near the E809K region (Atlas card adjacent). The AlphaFold model places F810 within 5 Å of GLU809 (2.5 Å — partner of E809K), LYS811 (2.5 Å), SER807 (3.9 Å), SER808 (4.3 Å), and LEU814 (4.5 Å).

Replacing F810 with leucine eliminates the aromatic ring and replaces it with branched aliphatic. The local environment — with E809 and K811 as charged neighbors and multiple serines — was sized around the wild-type aromatic ring. The variant fold accommodates the substitution easily (essentially neutral ΔΔG).

AlphaMissense's 0.994 (near-maximum) confirms severe functional consequence despite the conservative chemistry. The mechanism is loss of the F810 aromatic packing that the wild-type fold depended on for the E809-K811 salt bridge geometry — F810's aromatic ring likely positions E809 and K811 in the productive salt-bridge orientation.

Amino-acid chemistry
Phenylalanine (F) → Leucine (L) — aromatic hydrophobic replaced by branched aliphatic hydrophobic. Aromatic character lost; volume modestly reduced.
Position in the protein
C-terminal lumenal domain · position 810 in the ER lumen (pLDDT 86).

Druggability Assessment

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted. ΔΔG = +0.08 — fold essentially unchanged. AlphaMissense 0.994 (near-maximum) confirms severe functional consequence.

Mechanism is loss of F810 aromatic packing that supported E809-K811 salt-bridge geometry. Therapeutic strategy: same microregion as E809K.

Why this matters

F810L + E809K are sister variants at adjacent positions, both pathogenic, both perturbing the local salt-bridge geometry from different angles.
