Here, we used ancestral sequence reconstruction to infer the catalytic β and non-catalytic α subunits of a putative ancestral F-ATPase. We then fused their functionally critical domains into the thermostable F from Bacillus PS3, yielding a stable chimeric enzyme. Cryo-EM revealed two distinct conformational states-binding and catalytic dwell states-separated by a ~34° rotation of the γ subunit, suggesting a fundamental six-step mechanism akin to that of extant six-stepping F-ATPases. Single-molecule rotation assays with ATP and the slowly hydrolyzed ATP analog ATPγS demonstrated that the chimeric motor is intrinsically a six-stepper, pausing at binding and catalytic dwell positions separated by 32.1°, although the binding dwell is significantly prolonged by an unknown mechanism. These findings indicate that F-ATPase was originally a six-stepper and diversified into 3-, 6- and 9-step forms in evolutionary adaptation. Based on these results, we discuss plausible features of the entire FF complex, along with potential physiological contexts in the last universal common ancestor and related lineages.
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.
