Mutations in ADAR1 are associated with human autoimmune disease, and targeting ADAR1 has been proposed for cancer immunotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ADAR1-mediated editing remain unclear. Here, we provide detailed biochemical and structural characterizations of human ADAR1. Our biochemical profiling reveals that ADAR1 editing is both sequence and RNA-duplex-length dependent but can well tolerate mismatches near the editing site. High-resolution ADAR1-RNA complex structures, combined with mutagenesis, elucidate RNA binding, substrate selection, dimerization, and the essential role of RNA-binding domain 3. The ADAR1 structures also help explain the potential defects of disease-associated mutations, where biochemical and RNA sequencing analysis further indicate some of the mutations preferentially impact the editing of RNAs with short duplexes. These findings unveil the molecular basis of ADAR1 editing and provide insights into its immune-regulatory functions and therapeutic potential.
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.
