Our understanding of this process comes mainly from studies of purified flagella from two species, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Here, we used electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET) to image the assembly of the flagellar motor in situ in diverse Proteobacteria: Hylemonella gracilis, Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Shewanella oneidensis. Our results reveal the in situ structures of flagellar intermediates, beginning with the earliest flagellar type III secretion system core complex (fT3SScc) and MS-ring. In high-torque motors of Beta-, Gamma-, and Epsilon-proteobacteria, we discovered novel cytoplasmic rings that interact with the cytoplasmic torque ring formed by FliG. These rings, associated with the MS-ring, assemble very early and persist until the stators are recruited into their periplasmic ring; in their absence the stator ring does not assemble. By imaging mutants in Helicobacter pylori, we found that the fT3SScc proteins FliO and FliQ are required for the assembly of these novel cytoplasmic rings. Our results show that rather than a simple accretion of components, flagellar motor assembly is a dynamic process in which accessory components interact transiently to assist in building the complex nanomachine.
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.
