The oligomeric assembly of mtHsp60 into heptameric ring structures that enclose a folding chamber only occurs upon addition of ATP and is significantly more labile than that of GroEL, where the only oligomeric species is a tetradecamer. The lability of the mtHsp60 heptamer provides an opportunity to detect and visualize lower-order oligomeric states that may represent intermediates along the assembly/disassembly pathway. Using cryo-electron microscopy we show that, in addition to the fully-formed heptamer and an "inverted" tetradecamer in which the two heptamers associate via their apical domains, thereby blocking protein substrate access, well-defined lower-order oligomeric species, populated at less than 6% of the total particles, are observed. Specifically, we observe open trimers, tetramers, pentamers and hexamers (comprising ∼4% of the total particles) with rigid body rotations from one subunit to the next within ∼1.5-3.5° of that for the heptamer, indicating that these may lie directly on the assembly/disassembly pathway. We also observe a closed-ring hexamer (∼2% of the particles) which may represent an off-pathway species in the assembly/disassembly process in so far that conversion to the mature heptamer would require the closed-ring hexamer to open to accept an additional subunit. Lastly, we observe several classes of tetramers where additional subunits characterized by fuzzy electron density are caught in the act of oligomer extension.

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.
