Journal: Nat Plants / Year: 2024 Title: Cryo-EM structure and molecular mechanism of the jasmonic acid transporter ABCG16. Authors: Ning An / Xiaowei Huang / Zhao Yang / Minhua Zhang / Miaolian Ma / Fang Yu / Lianyan Jing / Boya Du / Yong-Fei Wang / Xue Zhang / Peng Zhang / Abstract: Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of oxylipin phytohormones including jasmonic acid (JA) and derivatives that regulate plant growth, development and biotic and abiotic stress. A number of transporters ...Jasmonates (JAs) are a class of oxylipin phytohormones including jasmonic acid (JA) and derivatives that regulate plant growth, development and biotic and abiotic stress. A number of transporters have been identified to be responsible for the cellular and subcellular translocation of JAs. However, the mechanistic understanding of how these transporters specifically recognize and transport JAs is scarce. Here we determined the cryogenic electron microscopy structure of JA exporter AtABCG16 in inward-facing apo, JA-bound and occluded conformations, and outward-facing post translocation conformation. AtABCG16 structure forms a homodimer, and each monomer contains a nucleotide-binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an extracellular domain. Structural analyses together with biochemical and plant physiological experiments revealed the molecular mechanism by which AtABCG16 specifically recognizes and transports JA. Structural analyses also revealed that AtABCG16 features a unique bifurcated substrate translocation pathway, which is composed of two independent substrate entrances, two substrate-binding pockets and a shared apoplastic cavity. In addition, residue Phe608 from each monomer is disclosed to function as a gate along the translocation pathway controlling the accessing of substrate JA from the cytoplasm or apoplast. Based on the structural and biochemical analyses, a working model of AtABCG16-mediated JA transport is proposed, which diversifies the molecular mechanisms of ABC transporters.
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.
