The atypical protein Kinase-C (aPKC) and its regulatory partner Par6 form a complex that is essential for polarization, a primary function of which is to phosphorylate the Lethal giant larvae (Lgl) protein to prevent it from binding to the apical membrane (thereby facilitating its basolateral localization). Par6 binds Lgl directly and is essential for this process, but its mechanism was obscure. Here, we utilize cryo-EM and various biochemical techniques to characterize the interaction of Lgl2 with the aPKCι/Par6 complex and to study the roles of Par6 in promoting Lgl2 phosphorylation. We find that Par6 proteins stabilize a ternary Lgl2/aPKCι/Par6 complex that involves a unique multi-surface interaction of Lgl2 with both aPKCι and Par6. Importantly, we find Par6b induces processive phosphorylation that results in a multi-phosphorylated Lgl2 after a single interaction with the aPKCι/Par6b complex. This is enabled by a Par6b/Lgl2 interaction that maintains contact of Lgl2 with the kinase throughout its distinct nucleotide-binding states. Our results reveal the mechanistic basis for the efficient regulation of Lgl's membrane binding by aPKC/Par6 and provide invaluable structural data for further understanding the mechanisms of this polarity complex.
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.
