Journal: Commun Biol / Year: 2023 Title: Structural basis for substrate and inhibitor recognition of human multidrug transporter MRP4.

However, the underlying transport mechanism of hMRP4 remains unclear due to a lack of high-resolution structures. Here, we use cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to resolve its near-atomic structures in the apo inward-open and the ATP-bound outward-open states. We also capture the PGE1 substrate-bound structure and, importantly, the inhibitor-bound structure of hMRP4 in complex with sulindac, revealing that substrate and inhibitor compete for the same hydrophobic binding pocket although with different binding modes. Moreover, our cryo-EM structures, together with molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical assay, shed light on the structural basis of the substrate transport and inhibition mechanism, with implications for the development of hMRP4-targeted drugs.

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.
