Journal: PLoS Pathog / Year: 2023 Title: Capsid structure of a fungal dsRNA megabirnavirus reveals its previously unidentified surface architecture. Authors: Han Wang / Lakha Salaipeth / Naoyuki Miyazaki / Nobuhiro Suzuki / Kenta Okamoto / Abstract: Rosellinia necatrix megabirnavirus 1-W779 (RnMBV1) is a non-enveloped icosahedral double-stranded (ds)RNA virus that infects the ascomycete fungus Rosellinia necatrix, a causative agent that induces ...Rosellinia necatrix megabirnavirus 1-W779 (RnMBV1) is a non-enveloped icosahedral double-stranded (ds)RNA virus that infects the ascomycete fungus Rosellinia necatrix, a causative agent that induces a lethal plant disease white root rot. Herein, we have first resolved the atomic structure of the RnMBV1 capsid at 3.2 Å resolution using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) single-particle analysis. Compared with other non-enveloped icosahedral dsRNA viruses, the RnMBV1 capsid protein structure exhibits an extra-long C-terminal arm and a surface protrusion domain. In addition, the previously unrecognized crown proteins are identified in a symmetry-expanded cryo-EM model and are present over the 3-fold axes. These exclusive structural features of the RnMBV1 capsid could have been acquired for playing essential roles in transmission and/or particle assembly of the megabirnaviruses. Our findings, therefore, will reinforce the understanding of how the structural and molecular machineries of the megabirnaviruses influence the virulence of the disease-related ascomycete fungus.
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.
