Reserve chaperones suppress UPR transducers via their stress-sensing ...The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR) is tuned by the balance between unfolded proteins and chaperones. Reserve chaperones suppress UPR transducers via their stress-sensing luminal domains, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The ER chaperone AGR2 is known to repress the UPR transducer IRE1β. Here, structural prediction, X-ray crystallography, and NMR spectroscopy identify critical interactions between an AGR2 monomer and a regulatory loop in IRE1β's luminal domain. However, in the repressive complex, it is an AGR2 dimer that binds IRE1β. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction explains this feature: one AGR2 protomer engages the regulatory loop, while the second asymmetrically binds IRE1β's luminal domain's C terminus, blocking IRE1β-activating dimerization. Molecular dynamic simulations indicate that the second, disruptive AGR2 protomer exploits rare fluctuations in the IRE1β dimer that expose its binding site. Thus, AGR2 disrupts IRE1β dimers to suppress the UPR, priming the system for activation by chaperone clients that compete for AGR2.
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.
