Its interaction with MIA40/CHCHD4, the central component of the mitochondrial disulfide relay, accounts for some, but not all, aspects of AIFM1 function. We provide a high-confidence AIFM1 interactome that elucidates functional partners within the mitochondrial intermembrane space. We found that AIFM1 binding to adenylate kinase 2 (AK2), an essential enzyme that maintains cellular adenine nucleotide pools, depends on the AK2 C-terminal domain. High-resolution cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) and biochemical analyses showed that both MIA40 and AK2A bind the AIFM1 C-terminal β-sheet domain. Their binding enhances NADH oxidoreductase activity by locking an active dimer conformation and, in the case of MIA40, affecting the cofactor-binding site. The AIFM1-AK2A interaction is important during mitochondrial respiration because AIFM1 serves as a recruiting hub within the IMS, regulating mitochondrial bioenergetic output by creating hotspots of metabolic enzymes.
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.
