This complex comprises the scaffold protein ISCU2, the cysteine desulfurase subcomplex NFS1-ISD11-ACP1, the allosteric activator frataxin (FXN) and the electron donor ferredoxin-2 (FDX2). The structural interaction of FDX2 with the complex remains unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of the human FDX2-bound core ISC complex showing that FDX2 and FXN compete for overlapping binding sites. FDX2 binds in either a 'distal' conformation, where its helix F interacts electrostatically with an arginine patch of NFS1, or a 'proximal' conformation, where this interaction tightens and the FDX2-specific C terminus binds to NFS1, facilitating the movement of the [2Fe-2S] cluster of FDX2 closer to the ISCU2 FeS cluster assembly site for rapid electron transfer. Structure-based mutational studies verify the contact areas of FDX2 within the core ISC complex.
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.
