(none catalogued)
Position 504 sits in a transmembrane helix (Transmembrane helix 7). Wolframin has eleven such helices anchoring it in the ER membrane; substitutions inside the bilayer-embedded segments can disrupt helix packing, lipid contacts, and the overall ER topology of the protein. The wild-type residue is rigid/helix-breaking (proline — kinks backbone); 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 3/4 — Most Druggable
<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=1.31 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.758 confirms functional impact. Specific local contacts disrupted — priority for docking and pharmacological chaperone screening.
Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=1.31 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.758. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
