The formation of heteromeric structures expands the functionality of TRP channels; however, their molecular architecture remains largely unknown. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopy structures of the human TRPC1/TRPC4 heteromer in the apo and antagonist-bound states, both consisting of one TRPC1 subunit and three TRPC4 subunits. The heteromer structure reveals a distinct ion-conduction pathway, including an asymmetrically constricted selectivity filter and an asymmetric lower gate, primarily attributed to the incorporation of TRPC1. Through a structure-guided electrophysiological assay, we show that both the selectivity filter and the lower part of the S6 helix participate in deciding overall preference for permeating monovalent cations. Moreover, we reveal that the introduction of one lysine residue of TRPC1 into the tetrameric central cavity is enough to render one of the most important functional consequences of TRPC heteromerization: reduced calcium permeability. Our results establish a framework for addressing the structure-function relationship of the heteromeric TRP channels.
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.
