They exhibit a unique virion structure, an elliptical core with a short projection. Negeviruses encode two structural proteins, a glycoprotein that forms a short projection, and an envelope protein that forms an elliptical core. The glycoprotein has been reported only in the negeviruses' genes, and not in phylogenetically related plant viruses' genes. In this report, we first describe the three-dimensional electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Tanay virus (TANAV), one of the nege-like viruses. TANAV particle demonstrates a periodical envelope structure consisting of three layers surrounding the centred viral RNA. The elliptical core dynamically changes its shape under acidic and even low detergent conditions to form bullet-like or tubular shapes. The further cryo-EM studies on these transformed TANAV particles reveal their overall structural rearrangement. These findings suggest putative geometries of TANAV and its transformation in the life cycle, and the potential importance of the short projection for enabling cell entry to the insect hosts.
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.
