Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2022 Title: Purification and structural characterization of the Na-translocating ferredoxin: NAD reductase (Rnf) complex of Clostridium tetanomorphum. Authors: Stella Vitt / Simone Prinz / Martin Eisinger / Ulrich Ermler / Wolfgang Buckel / Abstract: Various microbial metabolisms use H/Na-translocating ferredoxin:NAD reductase (Rnf) either to exergonically oxidize reduced ferredoxin by NAD for generating a transmembrane electrochemical potential ...Various microbial metabolisms use H/Na-translocating ferredoxin:NAD reductase (Rnf) either to exergonically oxidize reduced ferredoxin by NAD for generating a transmembrane electrochemical potential or reversely to exploit the latter for producing reduced ferredoxin. For cryo-EM structural analysis, we elaborated a quick four-step purification protocol for the Rnf complex from Clostridium tetanomorphum and integrated the homogeneous and active enzyme into a nanodisc. The obtained 4.27 Å density map largely allows chain tracing and redox cofactor identification complemented by biochemical data from entire Rnf and single subunits RnfB, RnfC and RnfG. On this basis, we postulated an electron transfer route between ferredoxin and NAD via eight [4Fe-4S] clusters, one Fe ion and four flavins crossing the cell membrane twice related to the pathway of NADH:ubiquinone reductase. Redox-coupled Na translocation is provided by orchestrating Na uptake/release, electrostatic effects of the assumed membrane-integrated FMN semiquinone anion and accompanied polypeptide rearrangements mediated by different redox steps.
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.
