Maintaining a balanced immune response is crucial, as excessive NLR expression can lead to unintended autoimmunity. Unlike most NLRs, the plant NLR required for cell death 2 (NRC2) belongs to a small NLR group characterized by constitutively high expression without self-activation. The mechanisms underlying NRC2 autoinhibition and activation are not yet understood. Here we show that Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) NRC2 (SlNRC2) forms dimers and tetramers and higher-order oligomers at elevated concentrations. Cryo-electron microscopy shows an inactive conformation of SlNRC2 in these oligomers. Dimerization and oligomerization not only stabilize the inactive state but also sequester SlNRC2 from assembling into an active form. Mutations at the dimeric or interdimeric interfaces enhance pathogen-induced cell death and immunity in Nicotiana benthamiana. The cryo-electron microscopy structures unexpectedly show inositol hexakisphosphate (IP) or pentakisphosphate (IP) bound to the inner surface of the C-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain of SlNRC2, as confirmed by mass spectrometry. Mutations at the inositol phosphate-binding site impair inositol phosphate binding of SlNRC2 and pathogen-induced SlNRC2-mediated cell death in N. benthamiana. Our study indicates a negative regulatory mechanism of NLR activation and suggests inositol phosphates as cofactors of NRCs.

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.
