In ALECT2 amyloidosis, ALECT2 fibrils deposit in the glomerulus, resulting in renal failure. Patients lack effective treatment options outside of renal transplant or dialysis. The structure of globular LECT2 has been determined but structures of ALECT2 amyloid fibrils remain unknown. Using single-particle cryo-EM, we find that recombinant human LECT2 forms robust twisting fibrils with canonical amyloid features. ALECT2 fibrils contain two mating protofilaments spanning residues 55-75 of the LECT2 sequence. The geometry of the ALECT2 fibril displays features in line with other pathogenic amyloids. Its core is tightly packed and stabilized by both hydrophobic contacts and hydrogen-bonded uncharged polar residues. The robustness of ALECT2 fibril cores is illustrated by their resistance to denaturants and proteases. This ALECT2 fibril structure presents a potential new target for treatments against ALECT2 systemic amyloidosis.
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.
