Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025 Title: Modulation of the human GlyT1 by clinical drugs and cholesterol. Authors: Na Li / Yiqing Wei / Renjie Li / Yufei Meng / Jun Zhao / Qinru Bai / Gang Wang / Yan Zhao / Abstract: Glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1) is a key player in shaping extracellular glutamatergic signaling processes and holds promise for treating cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia by ...Glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1) is a key player in shaping extracellular glutamatergic signaling processes and holds promise for treating cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia by inhibiting its activity and thus enhancing the function of NMDA receptors. Despite its significant role in physiological and pharmacology, its modulation mechanism by clinical drugs and internal lipids remains elusive. Here, we determine cryo-EM structures of GlyT1 in its apo state and in complex with clinical trial drugs iclepertin and sarcosine. The GlyT1 in its apo state is determined in three distinct conformations, exhibiting a conformational equilibrium of the transport cycle. The complex structures with inhibitor iclepertin and sarcosine elucidate their unique binding poses with GlyT1. Three binding sites of cholesterol are determined in GlyT1, two of which are conformation-dependent. Transport kinetics studies reveal that a delicate binding equilibrium for cholesterol is crucial for the conformational transition of GlyT1. This study significantly enhances our understanding of the physiological and pharmacological aspects of GlyT1.
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.
