In this study, we identified a proton-dissociation-permeated sodium channel ...Acid sensing is essential for various biological processes in animals, yet it exhibits species-specific characteristics. In this study, we identified a proton-dissociation-permeated sodium channel (PDPNaC1) in the antennal sensory neurons of the centipede Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans. PDPNaC1, which is permeable to monovalent cations, assembles as a homotrimer. Unlike most proton-gated channels, where proton binding induces currents, PDPNaC1's transient ion-permeable state is triggered by proton dissociation. By resolving the high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of PDPNaC1, combined with mutagenesis and electrophysiological analyses, we identified Gly378, rather than the Gly-Ala-Ser tract, as a key determinant of ion selectivity. Furthermore, Ser376, located in the ion-permeable pathway, likely serves as a proton-binding site, leading to an H-blocking effect that results in proton-dissociated currents. Thus, the identification of PDPNaC1 suggests the remarkable diversity of proton responses and molecular mechanisms in DEG/ENaC family.

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.
