UniProt features at this position:

(none catalogued)

Position 411 sits in a transmembrane helix (Transmembrane helix 4). 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 small polar (serine — hydroxyl); the mutant is thiol (cysteine — disulfide-capable, free -SH). The chemistry shift implies altered local packing, hydrogen-bonding, and/or electrostatics at this site.

Final Schema Categorization

Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted

<strong>Category 4 — Stable Fold, Function Disrupted</strong><br/><br/>|ΔΔG|=0.49 negligible. Likely site-specific functional disruption — docking strategy.

Why this card matters. Wolframin's fold survives this substitution (|ΔΔG|=0.49 kcal/mol). The pathogenic signal is real — AlphaMissense places it at 0.489. Protein still folds, but a specific local site is broken. Pharmacological chaperones and small-molecule binders are the rational therapeutic vector.
