Pattern-independent activation of C3 also occurs via hydrolysis, resulting in C3(HO), but the structural details of C3 hydrolysis remain elusive. Here we show that the conformation of the C3(HO) analog, C3MA, is indistinguishable from C3b. In contrast, the reaction intermediate C3* adopts a conformation dramatically different from both C3 and C3MA. In C3*, unlocking of the macroglobulin (MG) 3 domain creates a large opening in the MG ring through which the anaphylatoxin (ANA) domain translocates through a transient opening. C3MA formation is inhibited by an MG3-specific nanobody and prevented by linking the ANA domain to the C3 β-chain. Our study reveals an unexpected dynamic behavior of C3 and forms the basis for elucidation of the in vivo contribution of C3 hydrolysis and for controlling complement upon intravascular hemolysis and surface-contact-induced activation.

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.
