Dysregulation of SIRT6 is believed to be associated with aging and cancer, making it of pharmacological interest. In this study, we use cryo-EM and enzymology to explore SIRT6 preference and adaptability toward different nucleosomal substrates. We have visualized a trapped complex of SIRT6 in the process of deacylating H3K27, demonstrating how SIRT6 undergoes conformational changes to remove differently positioned histone marks. Additional biochemical studies further reveal the plasticity of SIRT6, which accommodates various metabolism-linked modifications, such as lysine lactylation and β-hydroxybutyrylation. To further understand the basis for substrate selectivity of SIRT6, we explore the effects of an established G60A enzyme mutation, proximal H3 modifications, and small-molecule modulators. These findings highlight the versatility of SIRT6 and provide key mechanistic insights into its molecular recognition.

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.
