Despite decades of study, the -type K channel AKT5 has remained functionally unassigned. Here, we report that AKT5 functions as a bona fide voltage-dependent K channel and serves as an essential regulator of petiole elongation. Structural analyses of AKT5 in a closed state and the AKT5-D403 variant in a pre-open state provide direct structural evidence for functional K channel activity. AKT5 assembled into a canonical tetramer with two-fold symmetry and, upon phosphorylation, operated as an inward-rectifying K channel activated at strongly hyperpolarized membrane potentials. AKT5 was predominantly expressed in young petioles, and loss of AKT5 function largely suppressed petiole elongation throughout the diurnal cycle, resulting in compact rosettes and reduced biomass under crowded growth conditions. These findings show that AKT5 is involved in a regulator of plant competitive growth and high-density performance.
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.
