Journal: Protein Sci / Year: 2026 Title: Adenylyl cyclase 9 as a molecular scaffold to dissect the mechanisms of membrane adenylyl cyclases. Authors: Ilayda Kantarci / Haoriwa Haoriwa / Volodymyr M Korkhov / Abstract: Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) convert ATP into the second messenger cAMP, thus directly influencing cellular signaling in response to a wide variety of stimuli. Despite their physiological importance, ...Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) convert ATP into the second messenger cAMP, thus directly influencing cellular signaling in response to a wide variety of stimuli. Despite their physiological importance, structural studies of isoform-specific AC regulation are compounded by difficulties in AC expression and purification. Here, we designed a chimeric construct AC95, combining human AC9 as a molecular scaffold and incorporating the catalytic-allosteric core of human AC5. Cryo-EM analysis of AC95 at 3.5 Å resolution revealed a state of AC95 bound to both ATPαS and forskolin, demonstrating that the chimera partially reproduces allosteric regulation by forskolin while retaining the structural features of the AC9 scaffold. Although AC95 chimera retained the ability to bind to and be activated by forskolin, it lost the ability to be autoinhibited by the C2b domain of AC9. Moreover, AC95 is insensitive to inhibition by AC5 inhibitors SQ22,536 and NKY80, due to either targeting a site distinct from the catalytic-allosteric core of AC5, altered conformational dynamics or long-range allosteric effects imposed by chimeric scaffold, or a requirement for additional AC5 features absent in AC95. Our results establish an approach for investigating isoform-specific regulation of mammalian ACs by small molecules, offering a potential path for structure-based drug discovery targeting distinct AC isoforms.

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.
