This pathogen is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans. Besides its highly infectious nature, is increasingly resistant to a number of clinically administrated antibiotics. As a consequence, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated antibiotic-resistant as a serious antibiotic resistance threat in the United States. The CosR regulator is essential to the viability of this bacterium and is responsible for regulating the expression of a number of oxidative stress defense enzymes. Importantly, it also modulates the expression of the CmeABC multidrug efflux system, the most predominant and clinically important system in that mediates resistance to multiple antimicrobials. Here, we report structures of apo-CosR and CosR bound with a 21 bp DNA sequence located at the promotor region using both single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. These structures allow us to propose a novel mechanism for CosR regulation that involves a long-distance conformational coupling and rearrangement of the secondary structural elements of the regulator to bind target DNA. IMPORTANCE: has emerged as an antibiotic-resistant threat worldwide. CosR is an essential regulator for this bacterium and is important for adaptation to various stresses.

Here, we describe the structural basis of CosR binding to target DNA as determined by cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. Since CosR is a potential target for intervention, our studies may facilitate the development of novel therapeutics to combat infection.
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.
