Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2025 Title: Structural insights into proteolysis-dependent and -independent suppression of the master regulator DELLA by the gibberellin receptor. Authors: Pawan Dahal / Yan Wang / Jianhong Hu / Jeongmoo Park / Karly Forker / Zhong-Lin Zhang / Kedar Sharma / Mario J Borgnia / Tai-Ping Sun / Pei Zhou / Abstract: The perception of the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) by its nuclear receptor GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1) triggers polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of master growth regulators- ...The perception of the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) by its nuclear receptor GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1) triggers polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of master growth regulators-DELLA proteins-mediated by the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. DELLA-encoding genes are known as 'Green Revolution' genes, as their dominant mutations lead to semidwarf cereal varieties with significantly higher yields due to reduced GA response. DELLAs function as central signaling hubs, coordinating diverse physiological responses by interacting with key transcription factors across multiple cellular pathways. While the DELLA domain mediates GA-GID1 binding, the mechanism of SCF recruitment remained unknown. Additionally, GA-GID1 binding can inhibit DELLA protein activity independently of its proteolysis, although the underlying mechanism was unclear. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of GA-GID1A complexed with a full-length DELLA protein in , RGA (REPRESSOR OF ), and the GA-GID1A-RGA-SLY1-ASK1 complex. We show that the DELLA domain of RGA functions as a molecular bridge to enhance its GRAS domain binding to GID1A through direct interactions with both the GRAS domain and GID1A. Disrupting either intramolecular (DELLA-GRAS) or intermolecular (GRAS-GID1A) interactions weakens RGA-GID1 binding. Contrary to prior models, SLY1 binds the GRAS domain's concave surface without inducing conformational changes. Combining AlphaFold modeling and yeast three-hybrid assays, we demonstrate that GID1 binding to the RGA GRAS domain blocks its interactions with INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) transcription factors, explaining how GA-GID1 relieves growth suppression independently of DELLA degradation.
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.
