Variant information Variant position: help 542 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LP/P [Disclaimer] The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Glutamate (E) to Lysine (K) at position 542 (E542K, p.Glu542Lys). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Change from medium size and acidic (E) to large size and basic (K) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 1 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Variant description: help In CLOVE, KERSEB, CRC, BC, CLAPO, MADAC and CCM4; also found in glioblastoma multiforme and endometrial carcinoma; somatic mutation; shows an increase in lipid kinase activity; oncogenic in vivo; occurs in the interface between the PI3K helical domain and the nSH2 (N-terminal SH2) region of the p85 regulatory subunit and may reduce the inhibitory effect of p85; requires interaction with RAS to induce cellular transformation. Any additional useful information about the variant.

Sequence information Variant position: help 542 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 1068 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help ELRENDKEQLKAISTRDPLS E ITEQEKDFLWSHRHYCVTIP The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.
