These hormones regulate blood pressure through the single-pass transmembrane receptor guanylyl cyclase A (GC-A), also known as natriuretic peptide receptor 1. The binding of the peptide hormones to the extracellular domain of the receptor activates the intracellular guanylyl cyclase domain of the receptor to produce the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Despite their importance, the detailed architecture and domain interactions within full-length GC-A remain elusive. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures, functional analyses and molecular dynamics simulations of full-length human GC-A, in both the absence and the presence of atrial natriuretic peptide. The data reveal the architecture of full-length GC-A, highlighting the spatial arrangement of its various functional domains. This insight is crucial for understanding how different parts of the receptor interact and coordinate during activation. The study elucidates the molecular basis of how extracellular signals are transduced across the membrane to activate the intracellular guanylyl cyclase domain.
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.
