Journal: Structure / Year: 2025 Title: Structural basis for substrate binding, catalysis, and inhibition of cancer target mitochondrial creatine kinase by a covalent inhibitor. Authors: Merve Demir / Laura Koepping / Ya Li / Lynn Fujimoto / Andrey Bobkov / Jianhua Zhao / Taro Hitosugi / Eduard Sergienko / Abstract: Mitochondrial creatine kinases (MtCKs) are key players in maintaining energy homeostasis in cells that work with cytosolic creatine kinases for energy transport from mitochondria to cytoplasm. The ...Mitochondrial creatine kinases (MtCKs) are key players in maintaining energy homeostasis in cells that work with cytosolic creatine kinases for energy transport from mitochondria to cytoplasm. The inhibition of breast cancer growth by cyclocreatine targeting CKs indicates dependence of cancer cells on the "energy shuttle" for cell growth and survival. Hence, understanding key mechanistic features of creatine kinases and their inhibition plays an important role in the development of cancer therapeutics. Herein, we present mutational and structural investigations on understudied ubiquitous MtCK that showed closure of the loop comprising His61 is specific to and relies on creatine binding and mechanism of phosphoryl transfer depends on electrostatics of active site. We demonstrate that previously identified pan-CK covalent inhibitor CKi inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation; however, our biochemical and structural data indicated that inhibition by CKi is highly dependent on covalent link formation and conformational changes upon creatine binding are not observed.
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.
