Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2011 Title: Architecture of the DNA polymerase B-proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-DNA ternary complex. Authors: Kouta Mayanagi / Shinichi Kiyonari / Hirokazu Nishida / Mihoko Saito / Daisuke Kohda / Yoshizumi Ishino / Tsuyoshi Shirai / Kosuke Morikawa / Abstract: DNA replication in archaea and eukaryotes is executed by family B DNA polymerases, which exhibit full activity when complexed with the DNA clamp, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). This ...DNA replication in archaea and eukaryotes is executed by family B DNA polymerases, which exhibit full activity when complexed with the DNA clamp, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). This replication enzyme consists of the polymerase and exonuclease moieties responsible for DNA synthesis and editing (proofreading), respectively. Because of the editing activity, this enzyme ensures the high fidelity of DNA replication. However, it remains unclear how the PCNA-complexed enzyme temporally switches between the polymerizing and editing modes. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of the Pyrococcus furiosus DNA polymerase B-PCNA-DNA ternary complex, which is the core component of the replisome, determined by single particle electron microscopy of negatively stained samples. This structural view, representing the complex in the editing mode, revealed the whole domain configuration of the trimeric PCNA ring and the DNA polymerase, including protein-protein and protein-DNA contacts. Notably, besides the authentic DNA polymerase-PCNA interaction through a PCNA-interacting protein (PIP) box, a novel contact was found between DNA polymerase and the PCNA subunit adjacent to that with the PIP contact. This contact appears to be responsible for the configuration of the complex specific for the editing mode. The DNA was located almost at the center of PCNA and exhibited a substantial and particular tilt angle against the PCNA ring plane. The obtained molecular architecture of the complex, including the new contact found in this work, provides clearer insights into the switching mechanism between the two distinct modes, thus highlighting the functional significance of PCNA in the replication process.

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.
