Journal: Nat Struct Mol Biol / Year: 2023 Title: Control of transcription elongation and DNA repair by alarmone ppGpp. Authors: Jacob W Weaver / Sergey Proshkin / Wenqian Duan / Vitaly Epshtein / Manjunath Gowder / Binod K Bharati / Elena Afanaseva / Alexander Mironov / Alexander Serganov / Evgeny Nudler / Abstract: Second messenger (p)ppGpp (collectively guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate) mediates bacterial adaptation to nutritional stress by modulating transcription initiation. More ...Second messenger (p)ppGpp (collectively guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate) mediates bacterial adaptation to nutritional stress by modulating transcription initiation. More recently, ppGpp has been implicated in coupling transcription and DNA repair; however, the mechanism of ppGpp engagement remained elusive. Here we present structural, biochemical and genetic evidence that ppGpp controls Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) during elongation via a specific site that is nonfunctional during initiation. Structure-guided mutagenesis renders the elongation (but not initiation) complex unresponsive to ppGpp and increases bacterial sensitivity to genotoxic agents and ultraviolet radiation. Thus, ppGpp binds RNAP at sites with distinct functions in initiation and elongation, with the latter being important for promoting DNA repair. Our data provide insights on the molecular mechanism of ppGpp-mediated adaptation during stress, and further highlight the intricate relationships between genome stability, stress responses and transcription.

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.
