They encode a membrane-bound AAA+ ATPase, 2C, that has been suggested to serve several roles in virus replication, e.g. as an RNA helicase and capsid assembly factor. Here, we report the reconstitution of full-length, poliovirus 2C's association with membranes. We show that the N-terminal membrane-binding domain of 2C contains a conserved glycine, which is suggested by structure predictions to divide the domain into two amphipathic helix regions, which we name AH1 and AH2. AH2 is the main mediator of 2C oligomerization, and is necessary and sufficient for its membrane binding. AH1 is the main mediator of a novel function of 2C: clustering of membranes. Cryo-electron tomography reveal that several 2C copies mediate this function by localizing to vesicle-vesicle interfaces. 2C-mediated clustering is partially outcompeted by RNA, suggesting a way by which 2C can switch from an early role in coalescing replication organelles and lipid droplets, to a later role where 2C assists RNA replication and particle assembly. 2C is sufficient to recruit RNA to membranes, with a preference for double-stranded RNA (the replicating form of the viral genome). Finally, the in vitro reconstitution revealed that full-length, membrane-bound 2C has ATPase activity and ATP-independent, single-strand ribonuclease activity, but no detectable helicase activity. Together, this study suggests novel roles for 2C in membrane clustering, RNA membrane recruitment and cleavage, and calls into question a role of 2C as an RNA helicase. The reconstitution of functional, 2C-decorated vesicles provides a platform for further biochemical studies into this protein and its roles in enterovirus replication.
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.
