Journal: Elife / Year: 2021 Title: Atomic structures of respiratory complex III, complex IV, and supercomplex III-IV from vascular plants. Authors: Maria Maldonado / Fei Guo / James A Letts / Abstract: Mitochondrial complex III (CIII) and complex IV (CIV), which can associate into a higher-order supercomplex (SC III+IV), play key roles in respiration. However, structures of these plant complexes ...Mitochondrial complex III (CIII) and complex IV (CIV), which can associate into a higher-order supercomplex (SC III+IV), play key roles in respiration. However, structures of these plant complexes remain unknown. We present atomic models of CIII, CIV, and SC III+IV from determined by single-particle cryoEM. The structures reveal plant-specific differences in the MPP domain of CIII and define the subunit composition of CIV. Conformational heterogeneity analysis of CIII revealed long-range, coordinated movements across the complex, as well as the motion of CIII's iron-sulfur head domain. The CIV structure suggests that, in plants, proton translocation does not occur via the H channel. The supercomplex interface differs significantly from that in yeast and bacteria in its interacting subunits, angle of approach and limited interactions in the mitochondrial matrix. These structures challenge long-standing assumptions about the plant complexes and generate new mechanistic hypotheses.

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.
