Here we solved the structure of the long isoform of human OGA (OGA-L) by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) providing a physiologically relevant platform to study the enzyme. The catalytic-stalk dimer structure was solved to a resolution of 3.63 Å, and the locally refined OGA A- and B-chains to 2.98 Å and 3.05 Å respectively. Intriguingly, the cryo-EM structures also exhibit lower resolution densities associated with the pHAT domains, suggesting substantial flexion of these domains relative to the catalytic-stalk dimer. OGA-L binds to a small subset of the 384 modified histone tails on a commercial histone peptide array. High affinity binding of OGA-L was detected to recombinant DNA-containing mononucleosomes bearing the H3K36 and H4K modifications. The OGA-L-H3K36 interaction was further validated by traditional ChIP experiments in MEFs. Thus, OGA-L binds to two modified histone tails of nucleosomes linked to open chromatin, whereas it does not bind to marks associated with repressive chromatin. This model is consistent with OGA-L acting as a 'reader' of histone modifications linked to development, transcriptional activation, transposon silencing, and DNA damage repair.
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.
