Journal: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. / Year: 2017 Title: CryoEM structure of a prokaryotic cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. Authors: Zachary M James / Andrew J Borst / Yoni Haitin / Brandon Frenz / Frank DiMaio / William N Zagotta / David Veesler Abstract: Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-regulated (HCN) ion channels play crucial physiological roles in phototransduction, olfaction, and cardiac pace making. ...Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-regulated (HCN) ion channels play crucial physiological roles in phototransduction, olfaction, and cardiac pace making. These channels are characterized by the presence of a carboxyl-terminal cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) that connects to the channel pore via a C-linker domain. Although cyclic nucleotide binding has been shown to promote CNG and HCN channel opening, the precise mechanism underlying gating remains poorly understood. Here we used cryoEM to determine the structure of the intact LliK CNG channel isolated from -which shares sequence similarity to eukaryotic CNG and HCN channels-in the presence of a saturating concentration of cAMP. A short S4-S5 linker connects nearby voltage-sensing and pore domains to produce a non-domain-swapped transmembrane architecture, which appears to be a hallmark of this channel family. We also observe major conformational changes of the LliK C-linkers and CNBDs relative to the crystal structures of isolated C-linker/CNBD fragments and the cryoEM structures of related CNG, HCN, and KCNH channels. The conformation of our LliK structure may represent a functional state of this channel family not captured in previous studies.
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. See below links for details.
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 is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
All the functionalities will be ported from the levgacy version.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
