We use the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, known for its ability to tolerate extreme changes in osmolarity, to assess which role nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) play in achieving nuclear volume adaptation and relieving mechanical stress. We capitalize on the unique properties of D. discoideum to quantify fluid flow across NPCs. D. discoideum has an elaborate NPC structure in situ. Its dilation state affects NPC permeability for nucleocytosolic flow. Based on mathematical concepts adapted from hydrodynamics, we conceptualize this phenomenon as porous flow across NPCs, which is distinct from canonically characterized modes of nucleocytoplasmic transport because of its dependence on pressure. Viral NPC blockage decreased nucleocytosolic flow. Our results may be relevant for any biological conditions that entail rapid nuclear size adaptation, including metastasizing cancer cells, migrating cells, or differentiating tissues.

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.
