The Kv1.3 channel is highly expressed in T-lymphocytes where it promotes sustained T-cell activation, its expression is elevated in autoimmune disorders and inhibitory nanobodies are immunosuppressive. The A019400G09 nanobody (NB1.3) binds to the external surface of Kv1.3 and inhibits the channel by promoting slow C-type inactivation of the ion selectivity filter. Here we explore the mechanism by which NB1.3 promotes inactivation by determining a series of cryo-EM structures of Kv1.3 and mutating the interface between NB1.3 and the channel. Our results reveal that interaction of NB1.3 with both the S1-S4 voltage-sensing domain and the turret within the pore domain are required to promote inactivation. We also identify a network of interacting hydrophobic residues linking the turret to the ion selectivity filter that stabilizes the conducting state and mediate the actions of NB1.3. These findings provide a foundation for developing therapeutics targeting Kv1.3 channels and exploring how nanobodies can interact with other tetrameric cation channels to modulate their activity.

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.
