To understand how these BCL-2 mutations compromise drug binding we solved crystal structures of both complexes (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The G101V mutation resides on the BCL-2 alpha2 helix packing against the alpha5 helix a
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC6547681 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 5
Evidence Type(s): Functional, Predictive
Justification: Functional: The passage discusses how the G101V mutation alters drug binding by changing the molecular interactions within the BCL-2 structure, indicating an alteration in biochemical function. Predictive: The evidence suggests that the G101V mutation impacts the binding affinity of venetoclax, which correlates with the response to this specific therapy.
