Na/H exchangers that perform this task are physiological homodimers, and whilst the ion transporting domain is highly conserved, their dimerization differs. The Na/H exchanger NhaA from Escherichia coli has a weak dimerization interface mediated by a β-hairpin domain and with dimer retention dependent on cardiolipin. Similarly, organellar Na/H exchangers NHE6, NHE7 and NHE9 also contain β-hairpin domains and recent analysis of Equus caballus NHE9 indicated PIP lipids could bind at the dimer interface. However, structural validation of the predicted lipid-mediated oligomerization has been lacking. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of E. coli NhaA and E. caballus NHE9 in complex with cardiolipin and phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate PI(3,5)P lipids binding at their respective dimer interfaces. We further show how the endosomal specific PI(3,5)P lipid stabilizes the NHE9 homodimer and enhances transport activity. Indeed, we show that NHE9 is active in endosomes, but not at the plasma membrane where the PI(3,5)P lipid is absent. Thus, specific lipids can regulate Na/H exchange activity by stabilizing dimerization in response to either cell specific cues or upon trafficking to their correct membrane location.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
