Using enzymes to conduct OTA detoxification is an appealing potential strategy. The recently identified amidohydrolase from Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila, termed ADH3, is the most efficient OTA-detoxifying enzyme reported thus far and can hydrolyze OTA to nontoxic ochratoxin α (OTα) and L-β-phenylalanine (Phe). To elucidate the catalytic mechanism of ADH3, we solved the single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of apo-form, Phe- and OTA-bound ADH3 to an overall resolution of 2.5-2.7 Å. The role of OTA-binding residues was investigated by structural, mutagenesis and biochemical analyses. We also rationally engineered ADH3 and obtained variant S88E, whose catalytic activity was elevated by 3.7-fold. Structural analysis of variant S88E indicates that the E88 side chain provides additional hydrogen bond interactions to the OTα moiety. Furthermore, the OTA-hydrolytic activity of variant S88E expressed in Pichia pastoris is comparable to that of Escherichia coli-expressed enzyme, revealing the feasibility of employing the industrial yeast strain to produce ADH3 and its variants for further applications. These results unveil a wealth of information about the catalytic mechanism of ADH3-mediated OTA degradation and provide a blueprint for rational engineering of high-efficiency OTA-detoxifying machineries.
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.
