Journal: Nat Struct Mol Biol / Year: 2025 Title: Capture, mutual inhibition and release mechanism for aPKC-Par6 and its multisite polarity substrate Lgl. Authors: Christopher P Earl / Mathias Cobbaut / André Barros-Carvalho / Marina E Ivanova / David C Briggs / Eurico Morais-de-Sá / Peter J Parker / Neil Q McDonald / Abstract: The mutually antagonistic relationship of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) and partitioning-defective protein 6 (Par6) with the substrate lethal (2) giant larvae (Lgl) is essential for regulating ...The mutually antagonistic relationship of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) and partitioning-defective protein 6 (Par6) with the substrate lethal (2) giant larvae (Lgl) is essential for regulating polarity across many cell types. Although aPKC-Par6 phosphorylates Lgl at three serine sites to exclude it from the apical domain, aPKC-Par6 and Lgl paradoxically form a stable kinase-substrate complex, with conflicting roles proposed for Par6. We report the structure of human aPKCι-Par6α bound to full-length Llgl1, captured through an aPKCι docking site and a Par6 contact. This complex traps a phospho-S663 Llgl1 intermediate bridging between aPKC and Par6, impeding phosphorylation progression. Thus, aPKCι is effectively inhibited by Llgl1 while Llgl1 is captured by aPKCι-Par6. Mutational disruption of the Lgl-aPKC interaction impedes complex assembly and Lgl phosphorylation, whereas disrupting the Lgl-Par6 contact promotes complex dissociation and Lgl phosphorylation. We demonstrate a Par6-regulated substrate capture-and-release model requiring binding by active Cdc42 and the apical partner Crumbs to drive complex disassembly. Our results suggest a mechanism for mutual regulation and spatial control of aPKC-Par6 and Lgl activities.

After reference-free 2D classification in Relion-3, eight 2D classes were selected and used as templates for reference-based particle picking in Gautomatch. A total of particles were extracted with 2-fold binning and submitted to 8 rounds of 2D classification in Relion-3.

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.
