Abstract
Polymorphisms of the disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 (ADAM10) are linked to pathophysiological changes in lung inflammation, cancer, Alzheimer's disease (AD), encephalopathy, liver fibrosis, and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we predicted the pathogenicity of ADAM10 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in a wide array of mutation analyzing bioinformatics tools. We retrieved 423 nsSNPs from dbSNP-NCBI for the analysis, and 13 were predicted deleterious by each of the ten tools: SIFT, PROVEAN, CONDEL, PANTHER-PSEP, SNAP2, SuSPect, PolyPhen-2, Meta-SNP, Mutation Assessor and Predict-SNP. Further assessment of amino acid sequences, homology models, conservation profiles, and inter-atomic interactions identified C222G, G361E and C639Y as the most pathogenic mutations. We validated this prediction through structural stability analysis using DUET, I-Mutant Suite, SNPeffect and Dynamut. Molecular dynamics simulations and principal component analysis also indicated considerable instability of the C222G, G361E and C639Y variants. Therefore, these ADAM10 nsSNPs could be candidates for diagnostic genetic screening and therapeutic molecular targeting.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
