Journal: Commun Biol / Year: 2024 Title: Cryo-EM of human rhinovirus reveals capsid-RNA duplex interactions that provide insights into virus assembly and genome uncoating.

The RNA duplexes (~12% of the ssRNA genome) define a quasi-dodecahedral cage that line a substantial part of the capsid interior surface. The RNA duplexes establish a complex network of non-covalent interactions with pockets in the capsid inner wall, including coulombic interactions with a cluster of basic amino acid residues that surround each RNA duplex. A direct comparison was made between the cryo-EM structure of RNA-filled virions and that of RNA-free (empty) capsids that resulted from genome release from a small fraction of viruses. The comparison reveals that some specific residues involved in capsid-duplex RNA interactions in the virion undergo remarkable conformational rearrangements upon RNA release from the capsid. RNA release is also associated with the asynchronous opening of channels at the 30 two-fold axes. The results provide further insights into the molecular mechanisms leading to assembly of rhinovirus particles and their genome uncoating during infection. They may also contribute to development of novel antiviral strategies aimed at interfering with viral capsid-genome interactions during the infectious cycle.
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.
