Journal: Cell Discov / Year: 2026 Title: Loss-of-function variants in ODAD1 disrupt ODA docking and induce actin cytoskeletal remodeling in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Authors: Chunxiao Huo / Ting Luo / Shuo Yang / Yuan Jiang / Mengzhe Guo / Feng Yang / Zhangqi Xu / Junhua Xia / Lei Wu / Weize Xu / Miao Gui / Tianhua Zhou / Shanshan Xie / Abstract: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by defective mucociliary clearance due to impaired motile cilia function. Outer dynein arm docking complex ...Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by defective mucociliary clearance due to impaired motile cilia function. Outer dynein arm docking complex subunit 1 (ODAD1) encodes a structural component of the outer dynein arm docking complex (ODA-DC), which is crucial for effective ciliary beating. However, the full spectrum of ODAD1-associated pathogenesis remains incompletely defined. Here, we identified one novel homozygous loss-of-function ODAD1 variant, c.705_706insGCAG, and a recurrent homozygous splicing variant, c.-41-2A > C, in seven unrelated patients. These patients exhibited hallmark PCD symptoms with reduced nasal nitric oxide levels and situs inversus. Patient-derived nasal epithelial cells and air‒liquid interface (ALI) cultures exhibited a markedly reduced ciliary beating frequency and severe motility defects. Transmission electron microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy showed a complete loss of outer dynein arms and docking complexes, with variant-specific ultrastructural abnormalities. Unexpectedly, ODAD1 deficiency also led to reduced multiciliated cells (MCCs) abundance, misoriented basal bodies, and impaired multiciliogenesis. Proteomic profiling and immunostaining revealed prominent actin cytoskeletal remodeling, including aberrant F-actin bundling throughout the epithelial layers. Pharmacological inhibition of actin polymerization using cytochalasin B partially rescued the abundance of MCCs and multiciliogenesis, indicating that actin dysregulation is a modifiable consequence of ODAD1 loss. Finally, lentiviral re-expression of wild-type ODAD1 in patient-derived organoids restored ODA assembly and rescued coordinated ciliary beating, confirming the pathogenicity of the identified variants. Our data reveal a dual role for ODAD1 in regulating both axonemal structure and epithelial cytoskeletal integrity and identify actin dysregulation as a previously unrecognized, targetable pathological mechanism of ODAD1-associated PCD.
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.
