Here we investigated how anionic lipids modulate SthK, a bacterial pacemaker channel homolog, and HCN2, whose activity contributes to pacemaking in the heart and brain. Using SthK allowed the reconstitution of purified channels in controlled lipid compositions for functional and structural assays that are not available for the eukaryotic channels. We identified anionic lipids bound tightly to SthK and their exact binding locations and determined that they potentiate channel activity. Cryo-EM structures in the most potentiating lipids revealed an open state and identified a nonannular lipid bound with its headgroup near an intersubunit salt bridge that clamps the intracellular channel gate shut. Breaking this conserved salt bridge abolished lipid modulation in SthK and eukaryotic HCN2 channels, indicating that anionic membrane lipids facilitate channel opening by destabilizing these interactions. Our findings underline the importance of state-dependent protein-lipid interactions.

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.
