Structures of Na1.7 in distinct functional states will offer an advanced mechanistic understanding and aid drug discovery. Here we report the cryoelectron microscopy analysis of a human Na1.7 variant that, with 11 rationally introduced point mutations, has a markedly right-shifted activation voltage curve with V reaching 69 mV. The voltage-sensing domain in the first repeat (VSD) in a 2.7-Å resolution structure displays a completely down (deactivated) conformation. Compared to the structure of WT Na1.7, three gating charge (GC) residues in VSD are transferred to the cytosolic side through a combination of helix unwinding and spiral sliding of S4 and ∼20° domain rotation. A conserved WNФФD motif on the cytoplasmic end of S3 stabilizes the down conformation of VSD. One GC residue is transferred in VSD mainly through helix sliding. Accompanying GC transfer in VSD and VSD, rearrangement and contraction of the intracellular gate is achieved through concerted movements of adjacent segments, including S4-5, S4-5, S5, and all S6 segments. Our studies provide important insight into the electromechanical coupling mechanism of the single-chain voltage-gated ion channels and afford molecular interpretations for a number of pain-associated mutations whose pathogenic mechanism cannot be revealed from previously reported Na structures.
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.
