To prevent this, Acs is regulated through Ac-CoA-dependent feedback inhibition executed by Ac-CoA-dependent acetyltransferases such as AcuA in Bacillus subtilis. AcuA acetylates the catalytic lysine of AcsA turning the synthetase inactive. Here, we report that AcuA and AcsA form a tightly intertwined complex - the C-terminal domain binds to acetyltransferase domain of AcuA, while the C-terminus of AcuA occupies the CoA-binding site in the N-terminal domain of AcsA. Formation of the complex reduces AcsA activity in addition to the well-established acetylation of the catalytic lysine 549 in AcsA which we show can disrupt the complex. Thus, different modes of regulation accomplished through AcuA adjust AcsA activity to the concentrations of the different substrates of the reaction. In summary, our study provides detailed mechanistic insights into the regulatory framework underlying acetyl-CoA biosynthesis from acetate.
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.
