The loading of sRNA duplexes into the proper ARGONAUTE (AGO) protein is a key step to forming a functional silencing complex. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the specific loading of miR166/165 into AGO10 (AtAGO10) is critical for the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem, the source of all shoot organs, but the mechanism by which AtAGO10 distinguishes miR166/165 from other cellular miRNAs is not known. Here, we show purified AtAGO10 alone lacks loading selectivity towards miR166/165 duplexes. However, phosphate and HSP chaperone systems reshape the selectivity of AtAGO10 to its physiological substrates. A loop in the AtAGO10 central cleft is essential for recognizing specific mismatches opposite the guide strand 3' region in miR166/165 duplexes. Replacing this loop with the equivalent loop from Homo sapiens AGO2 (HsAGO2) changes AtAGO10 miRNA loading behavior such that 3' region mismatches are ignored and mismatches opposite the guide 5' end instead drive loading, as in HsAGO2. Thus, this study uncovers the molecular mechanism underlying the miR166/165 selectivity of AtAGO10, essential for plant development, and provides new insights into how miRNA duplex structures are recognized for sRNA sorting.

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.
