The EVH1 domain of the Homer1 scaffold protein interacts with the proline-rich region of Shank3, forming a key network within the postsynaptic density. Two mutations in EVH1, M65I and S97L, were suggested to be associated with autism spectrum disorder. Combining experimental and computational investigations, we show here that neither the overall structure nor the partner binding properties of the mutants exhibit substantial changes relative to the wild type. Compared to the S97L variant, the M65I mutant exhibits larger chemical shift perturbations both upon the mutation itself and during partner binding, and also shows signs of thermal destabilization. Integration of computational and NMR investigations suggests that both mutations perturb the s-ms time scale internal motions of the EVH1 domain.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
