Journal: QRB Discov / Year: 2025 Title: The conformational landscape of TRiC ring-opening and its underlying stepwise mechanism revealed by cryo-EM.

Despite ...The TRiC/CCT complex assists in the folding of approximately 10% of cytosolic proteins through an ATP-driven conformational cycle, playing a crucial role in maintaining protein homeostasis. Despite our understanding of ATP-driven TRiC ring closing and substrate folding, the process and mechanisms underlying TRiC ring-opening and substrate release remain largely unexplored. In this study, by determining an ensemble of cryo-EM structures of yeast TRiC in the presence of ADP, including three intermediate transition states, we present a comprehensive picture of the TRiC ring-opening process. During this process, CCT3 detects the loss of γ-phosphate and initiates with the dynamics of its apical protrusion, and expands to the outward leaning of the consecutive CCT6/8/7/5 subunits. This is followed by significant movements of CCT2, CCT4, and especially CCT1 subunits, resulting in the opening of the TRiC rings. We also observed an unforeseen temporary separation between the two rings in the CCT2 side, coordinating the release of the originally locked CCT4 N-terminus, which potentially participates in the ring-opening process. Collectively, our study reveals a stepwise TRiC ring-opening mechanism, provides a comprehensive view of the TRiC conformational landscape, and sheds lights on its subunit specificity in sensing nucleotide status and substrate release. Our findings deepen our understanding of protein folding assisted by TRiC and may inspire new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.
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.
