Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2'3' cGMP-AMP, which triggers the induction of inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons . cGAS is also present inside the cell nucleus, which is replete with genomic DNA, where chromatin has been implicated in restricting its enzymatic activity. However, the structural basis for inhibition of cGAS by chromatin remains unknown. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of human cGAS bound to nucleosomes. cGAS makes extensive contacts with both the acidic patch of the histone H2A-H2B heterodimer and nucleosomal DNA. The structural and complementary biochemical analysis also find cGAS engaged to a second nucleosome in trans. Mechanistically, binding of the nucleosome locks cGAS into a monomeric state, in which steric hindrance suppresses spurious activation by genomic DNA. We find that mutations to the cGAS-acidic patch interface are sufficient to abolish the inhibitory effect of nucleosomes in vitro and to unleash the activity of cGAS on genomic DNA in living cells. Our work uncovers the structural basis of the interaction between cGAS and chromatin and details a mechanism that permits self-non-self discrimination of genomic DNA by cGAS.

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.
