After several years of serving the research community, our ActiveDriverDB database will be retired on May 1st 2026. Please make sure to download any data you need and update your links or workflows before that date.

We want to sincerely thank all our users for their support, feedback, and collaboration over the years — your contributions have been invaluable to this project. A special thank you to Dr. Michal Krassowski for leading the development of our open-source software and database.

For any questions or assistance, please contact Jüri Reimand (juri.reimand@utoronto.ca).

Mutations Visualisation

The Mutations Visualisation needle plot provides a visual summary of the location, frequency and functional significance of all known mutations in your protein of interest. The placement of the pins corresponds to the location along the protein’s sequence, while the mutation impact and PTM associated with it is explained in the figure legend.

- Height (y axis) represents the number of occurrences of the mutation
- Horizontal position (x axis) represents the position along your protein’s amino acid sequence
- Pinhead colour represents the mutation impact (figure legend)
- X axis colouring represents the type of PTM associated with the mutation location (figure legend)

Zooming in/out
Too zoom in/out of a specific amino acid sequence, you can either use the magnifying glass icons below the needle plot, or you can use your mouse scroll wheel while hovering over the needle plot. Furthermore, you can enter a specific amino acid sequence range in the search bar and hit “Go!”

Saving the image
The Mutations Visualisation figure can be saved as an SVG or PDF format by clicking on the “Save image as” button at the top right of the plot.

Tracks
While the x axis of the Mutations Visualization plot indicates the amino acid sequence location, additional positional details are visualized using the tracks found here:

- Sequence track: amino acid sequence of your protein of interest
- Disorder track: (Not sure about this myself)
- Domains track: proteins domains identified in the amino acid sequence
- Mutations track: the specific amino acid substitutions detected at the specific site

If there is a specific region of the amino acid sequence you are interested in, you can zoom onto it using the magnifying glass icons below the Mutations Visualization plot. Alternatively, you can zoom in and out by using your mouse scroll wheel while hovering over the needle plot.

Protein summary

The protein summary provides brief information regarding your protein, namely: its full name, a brief description of its function, and genomic location of the coding gene.

This is preferred isoform of OPA1 protein. View all 8 isoforms

OPA1: dynamin-like 120 kDa protein, mitochondrial isoform 1 preproprotein

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein with similarity to dynamin-related GTPases. The encoded protein localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and helps regulate mitochondrial stability and energy output. This protein also sequesters cytochrome c. Mutations in this gene have been associated with optic atrophy type 1, which is a dominantly inherited optic neuropathy resulting in progressive loss of visual acuity, leading in many cases to legal blindness.
