Journal: Structure / Year: 2026 Title: Structural basis for proton inhibition of the two-pore domain K channel TASK-1.

Structures of TASK-1 have been captured with an open external gate, but the structural basis for external proton inhibition is incompletely understood. Here, we present a cryo-EM structure of TASK-1 at pH 6.0 and 100 mM K, revealing a closed extracellular gate. pH-regulation of TASK-1 involves a C-type selectivity filter gate similar to TASK-3, but distinct from other K2Ps, in which histidine protonation leads to the formation of a hydrophobic seal above the filter. We find that a PAH-associated loss-of-function mutation near the outer gate increases proton sensitivity, while DDSA-associated and other gain-of-function mutations near the inner X-gate and cavity reduce proton sensitivity. These data reveal the mechanism for pH regulation of TASK-1, illustrate differences in C-type gating among K2Ps, and suggest allosteric communication between inner and outer gates.
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.
