Journal: J Biol Chem / Year: 2023 Title: SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein substrate regulates the stepwise M cleavage reaction. Authors: Manju Narwal / Jean-Paul Armache / Thomas J Edwards / Katsuhiko S Murakami / Abstract: The processing of the Coronavirus polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab by the main protease M to produce mature proteins is a crucial event in virus replication and a promising target for antiviral drug ...The processing of the Coronavirus polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab by the main protease M to produce mature proteins is a crucial event in virus replication and a promising target for antiviral drug development. M cleaves polyproteins in a defined order, but how M and/or the polyproteins determine the order of cleavage remains enigmatic due to a lack of structural information about polyprotein-bound M. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of SARS-CoV-2 M in an apo form and in complex with the nsp7-10 region of the pp1a polyprotein. The complex structure shows that M interacts with only the recognition site residues between nsp9 and nsp10, without any association with the rest of the polyprotein. Comparison between the apo form and polyprotein-bound structures of M highlights the flexible nature of the active site region of M, which allows it to accommodate ten recognition sites found in the polyprotein. These observations suggest that the role of M in selecting a preferred cleavage site is limited and underscores the roles of the structure, conformation, and/or dynamics of the polyproteins in determining the sequence of polyprotein cleavage by M.
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.
