The NEC lattice assembles on the inner nuclear membrane and mediates the budding of nascent nucleocapsids into the perinuclear space and their subsequent release into the cytosol. Its essential role makes it a potent antiviral target, necessitating structural information in the context of a cellular infection. Here we determined structures of NEC-capsid interfaces in situ using electron cryo-tomography, showing a substantial structural heterogeneity. In addition, while the capsid is associated with budding initiation, it is not required for curvature formation. By determining the NEC structure in several conformations, we show that curvature arises from an asymmetric assembly of disordered and hexagonally ordered lattice domains independent of pUL25 or other viral capsid vertex components. Our results advance our understanding of the mechanism of nuclear egress in the context of a living cell.

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.
