Journal: EMBO J / Year: 2019 Title: Coupling of ATPase activity, microtubule binding, and mechanics in the dynein motor domain. Authors: Stefan Niekamp / Nicolas Coudray / Nan Zhang / Ronald D Vale / Gira Bhabha / Abstract: The movement of a molecular motor protein along a cytoskeletal track requires communication between enzymatic, polymer-binding, and mechanical elements. Such communication is particularly complex and ...The movement of a molecular motor protein along a cytoskeletal track requires communication between enzymatic, polymer-binding, and mechanical elements. Such communication is particularly complex and not well understood in the dynein motor, an ATPase that is comprised of a ring of six AAA domains, a large mechanical element (linker) spanning over the ring, and a microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) that is separated from the AAA ring by a ~ 135 Å coiled-coil stalk. We identified mutations in the stalk that disrupt directional motion, have microtubule-independent hyperactive ATPase activity, and nucleotide-independent low affinity for microtubules. Cryo-electron microscopy structures of a mutant that uncouples ATPase activity from directional movement reveal that nucleotide-dependent conformational changes occur normally in one-half of the AAA ring, but are disrupted in the other half. The large-scale linker conformational change observed in the wild-type protein is also inhibited, revealing that this conformational change is not required for ATP hydrolysis. These results demonstrate an essential role of the stalk in regulating motor activity and coupling conformational changes across the two halves of the AAA ring.

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.
