pysicochemical properities

Asn	Ser	consequences
polar, small, hydrophilic, negatively charged	polar, tiny, hydrophilic, neutral	Both amino acids are polar and hydrophilic. Ser is tiny, Asn therefore is a small amino acid. The biggest difference between these two amino acid is, that Asn is negatively charged and Ser is neutral. But this is not that big difference and therefore we suggest, that this mutation do not delete the structure and function of the protein.

rs121907979: Leu -> Arg

Pysicochemical Properities

First of all, we explored the amino acid properties and compared them for the original and the mutated amino acid. Therefore we created the possible effect that the mutation could have on the protein.

Leu	Arg	consequences
aliphatic, hydrophobic, neutral	positive charged, polar, hydrophilic	Leucine is smaller and without a positive charge. Therefore, Arg is too big for the position of Leu, therefore, the change of Leu with Arg has to cause changes in the 3D structure of the protein. Furthermore, Leu is a hydrophobic amino acid, whereas Arg is hydrophilic. This is the complete contrary and therefore we suggest, that the protein will not function any longer.

Visualisation of the mutation

In the next step, we created the visualization of the muation with PyMol. Therefore we created a picture for the original amino acid, for the new mutated amino acid and finally for both together in one picture whereas the mutation is white colored. The following pictures display that the mutated amino acid Arginine has a longer chain than Leucine. Contrary Leucine comes to a fork at the end of its rest. This shows that the amino acids have some structural differences that are not drastical, but can be essential.

Amino acid Leucine	Amino acid Arginine	Picture which visualize the mutation

Subsitution Matrices values

Afterwards, we looked at the values of the substitution matrices PAM1, PAM250 and BLOSSUM62. Therefore we looked detailed at the three values: the value for accoding amino acid substitution, the most frequent value for the substitution of the examined amino acid and the rarest substitution.

In this case, the substitution of Leucine to Arginine has very low values that are near the values for the rarest subsitution for PAM1 and PAM250. Furthermore, the value for the most frequent substitution differs also a lot from the value for this certain mutation for both PAMs. Contrary for BLOSUM62 the value for the amino acid subsitution Leucine to Arginine is average. This means the most frequent subsitution value is as far as the rarerest subsitution from the the underlying value. The difference between the two PAMs and BLOSUM62 can be ascribed to the different preparations of these two kind of substitutions matrices. The PAM-matrices is an evolutionary model whereas BLOSUM is based on protein famalies. Therefore probably this mutation is evolutionary not that unlikely whereas within a protein family it is unusual.

pysicochemical properities

His	Asp	consequences
aromatic, positive charged, polar, hydrophilic	negative charged, small, polar, hydrophilic	On the one side, both amino acids are polar, but on the other side, His is positively charged, while Asp is negatively charged, which is an essential difference between these both amino acids. Therefore it is very likely, that this change causes big changes in the structure of the protein and the protein therefore will probably not work any longer. Furthermore, the structure of the two amino acids is very different, because of the aromatic ring of the His.

polar, tiny, hydrophilic, neutral	aliphatic, hydrophobic, neutral	Ile is much bigger than Ser and also is branched, because it is an aliphatic amino acid. Therefore the structure of both amino acids is really different and Ile is to big for the position where Ser was. Therefore, there has to be a big change in the 3D structure of the protein and the protein probably will loose its function.

But both amino acids are relatively big and so it is possible, that the exchange of this amino acids do not change the structure of the protein that much. Therefore, we suggest it is possible, that the protein will work.
