Abstract: Transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channel is a polymodal receptor involved in pain perception and neuronal signalling that represents a promising target for the development of ...Transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1) channel is a polymodal receptor involved in pain perception and neuronal signalling that represents a promising target for the development of analgesics and neuroprotective agents. In this study we implement a combination of computational techniques and targeted design of chemical libraries to discover benzothiophene-substituted TRPV1 agonists with high affinity and efficacy toward TRPV1. In vitro functional experiments show that prolonged or repeated exposure to these compounds induce calcium-dependent desensitization of TRPV1, making it insensitive to noxious stimuli. We solve a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of human TRPV1 (hTRPV1) in complex with the most promising benzothiophene-substituted agonist MSP20. The structure reveals molecular details of MSP20 binding to the vanilloid site and a desensitized conformation of hTRPV1, characterized by the closed ion channel pore, α-helical C-terminus and distinct behaviour of annular lipids. Our in vivo experiments demonstrate that MSP20 exhibits robust and long-lasting antinociceptive activity with ex-vivo neuroprotective effects, supporting the perspective of benzothiophene-substituted vanilloids as future analgesics.

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.
