Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2023 Title: Tethered agonist activated ADGRF1 structure and signalling analysis reveal basis for G protein coupling. Authors: Daniel T D Jones / Andrew N Dates / Shaun D Rawson / Maggie M Burruss / Colin H Lipper / Stephen C Blacklow / Abstract: Adhesion G Protein Coupled Receptors (aGPCRs) have evolved an activation mechanism to translate extracellular force into liberation of a tethered agonist (TA) to effect cell signalling. We report ...Adhesion G Protein Coupled Receptors (aGPCRs) have evolved an activation mechanism to translate extracellular force into liberation of a tethered agonist (TA) to effect cell signalling. We report here that ADGRF1 can signal through all major G protein classes and identify the structural basis for a previously reported Gα preference by cryo-EM. Our structure shows that Gα preference in ADGRF1 may derive from tighter packing at the conserved F569 of the TA, altering contacts between TM helix I and VII, with a concurrent rearrangement of TM helix VII and helix VIII at the site of Gα recruitment. Mutational studies of the interface and of contact residues within the 7TM domain identify residues critical for signalling, and suggest that Gα signalling is more sensitive to mutation of TA or binding site residues than Gα. Our work advances the detailed molecular understanding of aGPCR TA activation, identifying features that potentially explain preferential signal modulation.
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.
