At its centre is the export apparatus (EA), a complex of five membrane proteins through which secretion substrates pass the inner membrane. While the complex formed by four of the EA proteins has been well characterised structurally, little is known about the structure of the membrane domain of the largest subunit, FlhA in flagella, SctV in injectisomes. Furthermore, the biologically relevant nonameric assembly of FlhA/SctV has been infrequently observed and differences in conformation of the cytoplasmic portion of FlhA/SctV between open and closed states have been suggested to reflect secretion system specific differences. FlhA has been shown to bind to chaperone-substrate complexes in an open state, but in previous assembled ring structures, SctV is in a closed state. Here, we identify FlhA and SctV homologues that can be recombinantly produced in the oligomeric state and study them using cryo-electron microscopy. The structures of the cytoplasmic domains from both FlhA and SctV are in the open state and we observe a conserved interaction between a short stretch of residues at the N-terminus of the cytoplasmic domain, known as FlhAL/SctVL, with a groove on the adjacent protomer's cytoplasmic domain, which stabilises the nonameric ring assembly.

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.
