Journal: Mol Cell / Year: 2026 Title: The Erlin1/2 complex is a dynamic scaffold for membrane microdomain assembly on the endoplasmic reticulum. Authors: Lu Yan / Zihong Xu / Yuanhang Yao / Tadsanee Awang / Xiaoting Wang / Yonglun Wang / Chengying Ma / Ningning Li / Chen Song / Xiao-Wei Chen / Ning Gao / Abstract: The SPFH (stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/C) family proteins are proposed scaffolds for organizing functional membrane microdomains (FMMs) on various cellular membranes. Erlin1 and Erlin2, ...The SPFH (stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/C) family proteins are proposed scaffolds for organizing functional membrane microdomains (FMMs) on various cellular membranes. Erlin1 and Erlin2, two endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-residing SPFH members, as heteromeric complexes, participate in ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). However, the mechanisms underlying Erlin-mediated FMM organization and ERAD regulation remain poorly understood. Here, through cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), we find that the human Erlin1/2 complex forms a 26-mer cage assembly, defining a nanometer-sized microdomain on the luminal leaflet. The intramembrane region of each subunit constitutes a specific phosphatidylinositol-binding pocket. ER proteins can be recruited to both the interior and exterior of these cages. By caging cargoes, the Erlin1/2 complex physically secludes them from their substrates or binding partners, conferring another layer of regulation on their functions. Moreover, individual cages can cluster to organize FMMs of different sizes. These dynamic properties underscore a general regulatory role of Erlin1/2 in various ER-related biological processes, including coronaviral replication.
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.
