Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2009 Title: The eye lens chaperone alpha-crystallin forms defined globular assemblies. Authors: Jirka Peschek / Nathalie Braun / Titus M Franzmann / Yannis Georgalis / Martin Haslbeck / Sevil Weinkauf / Johannes Buchner / Abstract: Alpha-crystallins are molecular chaperones that protect vertebrate eye lens proteins from detrimental protein aggregation. alphaB-Crystallin, 1 of the 2 alpha-crystallin isoforms, is also associated ...Alpha-crystallins are molecular chaperones that protect vertebrate eye lens proteins from detrimental protein aggregation. alphaB-Crystallin, 1 of the 2 alpha-crystallin isoforms, is also associated with myopathies and neuropathological diseases. Despite the importance of alpha-crystallins in protein homeostasis, only little is known about their quaternary structures because of their seemingly polydisperse nature. Here, we analyzed the structures of recombinant alpha-crystallins using biophysical methods. In contrast to previous reports, we show that alphaB-crystallin assembles into defined oligomers consisting of 24 subunits. The 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of alphaB-crystallin by electron microscopy reveals a sphere-like structure with large openings to the interior of the protein. alphaA-Crystallin forms, in addition to complexes of 24 subunits, also smaller oligomers and large clusters consisting of individual oligomers. This propensity might explain the previously reported polydisperse nature of alpha-crystallin.

Details
After correction of contrast transfer function by phase flipping the reconstructions have been performed by iterative cycles of MRA, MSA, classification and angular reconstitution of the obtained class averages.

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.
Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
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.
