UniProt features at this position:
(none catalogued)
Position 290 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is positively charged (lysine — primary amine); the mutant is small polar (threonine — hydroxyl). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

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 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.15 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.
Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.15 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.458. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
