Journal: Mol Cell / Year: 2010 Title: 3D cryo-EM structure of an active step I spliceosome and localization of its catalytic core. Authors: Monika M Golas / Bjoern Sander / Sergey Bessonov / Michael Grote / Elmar Wolf / Berthold Kastner / Holger Stark / Reinhard Lührmann / Abstract: The spliceosome excises introns from pre-mRNA in a two-step splicing reaction. So far, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a spliceosome with preserved catalytic activity has remained elusive. ...The spliceosome excises introns from pre-mRNA in a two-step splicing reaction. So far, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a spliceosome with preserved catalytic activity has remained elusive. Here, we determined the 3D structure of the human, catalytically active step I spliceosome (C complex) by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in vitrified ice. Via immunolabeling we mapped the position of the 5' exon. The C complex contains an unusually salt-stable ribonucleoprotein (RNP) core that harbors its catalytic center. We determined the 3D structure of this RNP core and also that of a post-step II particle, the 35S U5 snRNP, which contains most of the C complex core proteins. As C complex domains could be recognized in these structures, their position in the C complex could be determined, thereby allowing the region harboring the spliceosome's catalytic core to be localized.

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.
