Title: Molecular basis of antagonism of the dimeric human arginine vasopressin receptor 1A.

Abstract: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are peptide hormones critical for various physiological processes. Vasopressin receptor 1 A (V1aR), a primary AVP target, is promising for central ...Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are peptide hormones critical for various physiological processes. Vasopressin receptor 1 A (V1aR), a primary AVP target, is promising for central nervous system (CNS) disorders therapies, yet the mechanisms of antagonism and oligomerization remain poorly understood. Here, we present structures of human V1aR in its apo state and in complexes with antagonists: atosiban, balovaptan, and SRX246. Structural analyses reveal a dimeric V1aR assembly, validated by functional assays and imaging in cells. The apo structure shows a flat extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) with unpaired cysteines, undergoing significant conformational changes upon ligand binding. Antagonist-bound structures, combined with mutagenesis and radioligand binding assays, uncover distinct binding modes and key determinants for antagonism and selectivity. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of V1aR assembly and dynamic regulation, offering valuable insights for structure-guided development of new antagonists targeting dimeric V1aR for CNS disorders.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

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.

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • 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.
