UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 174 sits in N-terminal cytoplasmic (intrinsically disordered). The wild-type residue is positively charged (arginine — guanidinium, strong H-bond donor); the mutant is small polar (serine — hydroxyl). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Final Schema Categorization

Category 3/4 — Most Druggable

<strong>Category 3/4 — Most Druggable</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=1.17 < 2 kcal/mol (fold intact) + AlphaMissense 0.982 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|=1.17 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.982. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
