During the early stages of large subunit (LSU) formation, ITS2, together with six assembly factors, forms the characteristic foot structure of early nuclear pre-LSU particles. Here, we address the function of this foot structure during the early stages of ribosome assembly. We present cryo-EM structures from wild-type cells and cells depleted for the foot structure factor Rlp7. We show that compaction of domain I of the 25S rRNA is strictly dependent on the presence of foot factors, while domain II folds independently. Furthermore, Rlp7-depletion accumulated small subunit (SSU) processome intermediates prior to A1 cleavage and compaction of the individual domains of the 18S rRNA, providing also novel insights into the SSU-assembly process. SILAC labeling and affinity purification of co-transcriptionally assembled pre-ribosomes enabled us to resolve the assembly line of most early binding r-proteins step by step. This showed that incorporation of r-proteins in eukaryotes neither follows the bacterial regime nor a strict linear co-transcriptional mode. Instead, seed r-proteins might structurally define the individual rRNA domains before their compaction and fixation in the context of early pre-ribosomes.

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.
