Journal: bioRxiv / Year: 2025 Title: Structural basis and pathological implications of the dimeric OS9-SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD Core Complex. Authors: Liangguang Leo Lin / Emir Maldosevic / Linyao Elina Zhou / Ahmad Jomaa / Ling Qi Abstract: The SEL1L-HRD1 complex represents the most conserved branch of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), a critical pathway that clears misfolded proteins to maintain ER proteostasis. ...The SEL1L-HRD1 complex represents the most conserved branch of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), a critical pathway that clears misfolded proteins to maintain ER proteostasis. However, the molecular organization and pathogenic mechanisms of mammalian ERAD have remained elusive. Here, we report the first cryo-EM structure of the core mammalian ERAD complex, comprising the ER lectin OS9, SEL1L, and the E3 ubiquitin ligase HRD1. The structure, validated by mutagenesis and crosslinking assays, reveals a dimeric assembly of the core complex in which SEL1L and OS9 form a claw-like configuration in the ER lumen that mediates substrate engagement, while HRD1 dimerizes within the membrane to facilitate substrate translocation. Pathogenic SEL1L mutations at the SEL1L-OS9 (Gly585Asp) and SEL1L-HRD1 (Ser658Pro) interfaces disrupt complex formation and impair ERAD activity. A newly identified disease-associated HRD1 variant (Ala91Asp), located in transmembrane helix 3, impairs HRD1 dimerization and substrate processing, underscoring the functional necessity of this interface and HRD1 dimerization. Finally, the structure also reveals two methionine-rich crevices flanking the HRD1 dimer, suggestive of substrate-conducting channels analogous to those in the ER membrane protein complex (EMC). These findings establish a structural framework for mammalian ERAD and elucidate how mutations destabilizing this machinery contribute to human disease. SUMMARY: The dimeric structure of the human SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD core complex reveals key architectural and functional principles underlying the recognition and processing of misfolded proteins linked to human disease.
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.
