Here, we identify PSFL1191, a portal-of-central-pocket (PCP)-site inhibitor selective for human and panda P2X7, but inactive against rodents. Cryo-EM structures revealed two distinct PCP sub-pockets: PCP1, a rigid base pocket demanding precise steric complementarity with PSFL1191, and PCP2, a conserved middle cavity targeted by JNJ-54175446, a clinical candidate unaffected by species differences. Species selectivity maps to a deep PCP1 motif (V312-Y295-M105-F103-P96). In P2rx7 mice, PSFL1191 markedly altered macrophage-mediated bacterial clearance and wound healing while preserving basal physiology, effects absent in wild-type animals. Our findings establish the structural basis for interspecies pharmacological divergence in P2X7 modulation and highlight transgenic models as powerful tools for predicting therapeutic efficacy, thereby enabling more precise and efficient drug discovery.
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.
