VASH1-SVBP and VASH2-SVBP are ubiquitous enzymes involved in microtubule detyrosination, whose mode of action is little known. Here, we show in reconstituted systems and cells that VASH1-SVBP and VASH2-SVBP drive the global and local detyrosination of microtubules, respectively. We solved the cryo-electron microscopy structure of VASH2-SVBP bound to microtubules, revealing a different microtubule-binding configuration of its central catalytic region compared to VASH1-SVBP. We show that the divergent mode of detyrosination between the two enzymes is correlated with the microtubule-binding properties of their disordered N- and C-terminal regions. Specifically, the N-terminal region is responsible for a significantly longer residence time of VASH2-SVBP on microtubules compared to VASH1-SVBP. We suggest that this VASH region is critical for microtubule detachment and diffusion of VASH-SVBP enzymes on lattices. Our results suggest a mechanism by which VASH1-SVBP and VASH2-SVBP could generate distinct microtubule subpopulations and confined areas of detyrosinated lattices to drive various microtubule-based cellular functions.

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.
