Abstract: The prostaglandin D2 receptor 1 (DP1), a member of the prostanoid G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, plays critical roles in allergic responses, sleep regulation, immune modulation, and ...The prostaglandin D2 receptor 1 (DP1), a member of the prostanoid G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, plays critical roles in allergic responses, sleep regulation, immune modulation, and vasodilation. Here, we present five high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the human DP1 receptor, including an apo structure, two inactive state structures bound to two different inverse agonists developed by ONO Pharmaceutical, and two active state structures in complex with the G protein and bound to the endogenous agonist PGD2 and its selective derivative BW245C. Structural analysis, complemented by molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutagenesis, reveals key residues involved in ligand recognition and suggests a distinct activation mechanism for DP1, which lacks most of the conserved class A GPCR motifs. Notably, the unique residue K76 within the conserved sodium pocket acts as a major activation switch, while amphiphilic helix 8 adopts an unconventional orientation essential for receptor function. These findings offer valuable insights into the structure and function of prostanoid receptors and may facilitate the development of therapeutics targeting DP1.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.

Yorodumi

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • 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.
