TODO: Change images for mutation 8

Subset of SNPs

The ten SNPs shown in the table below and highlighted in Figure 1 were chosen for the analysis in this task. It was tried to include SNPs all over the protein, in order to investigate the influence of mutations in several parts of the protein. The mutated residues forming hydrogenbonds with the active site of glucocerebrosidase are included, as these should result in either a mal- or nonfunctioning protein [TODO: Insert mutation at position 311 (His)]. It was not easy to find missense mutations only listed in dbSNP, as most of them were listed in HGMD, too.

Figure 1: Selected mutations highlighted on structure of 10GS. The different colors indicate, in which database the mutation is listed: dbSNP (blue), HGMD (red), both (green) CHANGE (Mut. 8)

Physicochemical Properties and Changes

Figure 2: Comparison of the wildtype (red) and mutated (blue) amino acids mapped to the structure of 1OGS. CHANGE (Mut. 8)

Mutation 1

The wildtype amino acid, Glycine is nonpolar, whereas the mutated amino acid Serin is polar. This different polarity, could be an indication, that the mutation is damaging. Looking at the structure, one can see, that this residue (pos. 10 in mature protein) is situated in a loop at the exterior of the protein. Therefore a substitution should not affect the function of the protein that much.

Mutation 2

In this mutation the Aspartic acid as an acidic amino acid is replaced by its derivative Asparagine. So it loses its acidic character. Therefore it could have an effect on the folding of the protein. If you look at the structure you see, that it is not in the interior of the protein, so the mutation should also not affect the function.

Mutation 3

Histidine is mutated to Arginine, which are both amino acids with a positively charged functional group. Histidine forms a ring structure, whereas Arginine forms a straight chain. The residue is also situated at the exterior of the protein, so its influence is not so strong. As they have the same charge the propertiers are the same and the mutation may be tolerated.

Mutation 4

In this mutation the positively charged Arginine is replaced by the charged amino acid Glutamine. Glutamine is a zwitterion and can be positively charged as well as negatively. It is situated in the interior of the protein, so it could also affect the function of the protein.

Mutation 5

Proline is the amino acid, which forms a ring structure. Therefore it has a great influence on the folding of the protein. Both, Proline and Leucine are zwitterions. So the chemical properties are the same. As it is also in the interior of the protein it could influence the function of the protein.

Mutation 6

Serine is a hydroxylic amino acid which is mutated in the acidic amino acid Asparagine. They are both zwitterions, therefore they share chemical propertiers. The structure is also very similar. As it is positioned at the exterior the influence of the mutation may be not that strong.

Mutation 7

Asparagine is an acidic amino acid whereas Serine is hydroxylic. This mutation is exactly the other way round than mutation six. But this amino acid is situated in the interior of the protein as part of a helix. So the mutation could affect the function of the protein.

Mutation 8

Histidine and Arginine are both basic amino acids. Histidine builds an imidazole ring, which is protonated. The residue is in the interior of the protein and involved in the proteins function. So the mutation may not be tolerated.

Mutation 9

Methionine is a sulfur containing amino acid which is mutated to Valine. Their chemical properties differ so the mutation might affect the folding or the function of the protein. If you look at the structure you see that it is placed at a helix.

Mutation 10

Leucine is mutated to Proline, which is the amino acid that forms a ring structure. Therefore the structure of the protein might change. If you look at the structure you see that it is part of a beta sheet, which might be disordered by the mutation and so affect the protein's function.
