Calcium-permeable AMPARs and GluA4-containing receptors are critical for cerebellar functions, such as motor learning, associative memory, auditory processing, and synaptic plasticity. In contrast to the well-characterized, predominantly GluA2-containing AMPARs of the hippocampus and cortex, cerebellar AMPARs contain a higher proportion of GluA4 and remain poorly understood. Here, we generated a highly GluA4-specific antibody. Using this antibody in combination with antibodies specifically recognizing GluA1 and GluA2, we purified native AMPARs and determined the subunit compositions of both calcium-impermeable and calcium-permeable native AMPARs in the cerebellum. The isolated cerebellar AMPARs that contained both GluA1 and GluA4 were calcium-permeable, with GluA4 occupying mainly the B/D positions, GluA1 occupying the A/C positions, and the complex associated primarily with cornichon 3 (CNIH3). We determined the structures of the complex in distinct functional states, including the resting, active, and desensitized states, and characterized the conformational transitions that underlie its activity. During desensitization, the receptor adopts a pseudo-4-fold configuration of the ligand-binding domain layer, which may be important for its functional properties. This study provides a blueprint for the subunit compositions of AMPARs in the cerebellum and clarifies the gating mechanism of the calcium-permeable native AMPAR-CNIH3 complex, providing significant insight into AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission in the cerebellum.
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.
