In humans, H2B monoubiquitination is catalyzed by the heterodimeric Bre1 complex composed of Bre1A/RNF20 and Bre1B/RNF40. The Bre1 proteins generally function as tumor suppressors, while in certain cancers, they facilitate cancer cell proliferation. To obtain structural insights of H2BK120 ubiquitination and its regulation, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the human Bre1 complex bound to the nucleosome. The two RING domains of Bre1A and Bre1B recognize the acidic patch and the nucleosomal DNA phosphates around SHL 6.0-6.5, which are ideally located to recruit the E2 enzyme and ubiquitin for H2BK120-specific ubiquitination. Mutational experiments suggest that the two RING domains bind in two orientations and that ubiquitination occurs when Bre1A binds to the acidic patch. Our results provide insights into the H2BK120-specific ubiquitination by the Bre1 proteins and suggest that H2B monoubiquitination can be regulated by nuclesomal DNA flexibility.
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.
