The metazoan RTCB forms a stable complex with four additional subunits, DDX1, FAM98B, CGI99, and ASHWIN. The role and assembly of these four components remain elusive. Furthermore, we lack structural information of how RNA substrates are recognized by 3'-5' tRNA ligases. Here, we use thiol-based chemical crosslinking to confirm the involvement of specific residues of RtcB in RNA binding, and we present a cryo-EM structure of the purified five-subunit Danio rerio tRNA ligase complex. The structure implies that the DDX1 helicase module is mobile and can modulate the activity of RTCB. Taken together, the presented results enhance our mechanistic understanding of RNA binding by 3'-5' tRNA splicing ligases and architecture of the metazoan tRNA ligase complex.
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.
