Journal: Nat Struct Mol Biol / Year: 2026 Title: Structural mechanism of TOPBP1 activating the ATR-ATRIP replication checkpoint kinase. Authors: Buren Li / Ayat Yaseen / Nikola P Pavletich / Abstract: The ATR protein kinase preserves genomic integrity during DNA replication by controlling checkpoints needed for the orderly progression of S phase and for the responses to replication stress. ATR, ...The ATR protein kinase preserves genomic integrity during DNA replication by controlling checkpoints needed for the orderly progression of S phase and for the responses to replication stress. ATR, with its obligate partner ATRIP, is activated by the TOPBP1 and ETAA1 proteins, which control different branches of ATR signaling. TOPBP1 is essential for induction of the S phase checkpoint in response to stalled replication forks, while ETAA1 is required for timely progression to mitosis from an unperturbed S phase. TOPBP1 and ETAA1 contain ATR-activating domains (AADs) of limited homology, but how they activate ATR has not yet been fully elucidated. Here we present the 3.0-Å cryo-EM structure of the human ATR-ATRIP complex bound to the TOPBP1 AAD, showing that TOPBP1 activates ATR by inducing a global conformational change that allosterically realigns active site residues in the kinase domain ~70 Å away. We also present the 3.3-Å structure of the ATR-ATRIP-ETAA1 AAD complex, which reveals a binding mode distinct from TOPBP1. Our data suggest that the distinct binding modes of TOPBP1 and ETAA1 contribute to the different cellular contexts and outcomes of ATR-ATRIP activation.
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.
