Here we show that the type III-D2 complex synthesizes two distinct second messengers, SAM-AMP and SAM-AMP, from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and ATP in response to target RNA recognition. We determined cryo-electron microscopy structures of the type III-D2 effector complex in different functional states, providing mechanistic insights into target RNA cleavage and second messenger synthesis. The structures reveal how SAM and ATP are recognized by the Cas10 subunit within the effector complex. Furthermore, our biological data suggest that both SAM-AMP and SAM-AMP act on the CorA ancillary effector, inducing growth arrest of infected bacterial cells and thereby conferring immunity. Thus, our study establishes the type III-D2 system as a unique anti-phage defense mechanism that employs both SAM-AMP and SAM-AMP as second messengers, expanding the repertoire of second messenger strategies in bacterial defense systems and highlighting the remarkable functional diversity of CRISPR-Cas systems.

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.
