In , an opportunistic pathogen, macrolide resistance is primarily mediated by Erm-family methyltransferases, which mono- or dimethylate A2058 in the 23S ribosomal RNA, reducing drug binding. Although macrolide-ribosome interactions have been characterized in nonpathogenic species, their structural basis in clinically relevant pathogens remains limited. In this study, we investigate the impact of -mediated resistance on drug binding by analyzing ribosomes from strains with varying levels of expression and activity. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the high-resolution structures of solithromycin-bound ribosomes, including those with dimethylated A2058. Our structural analysis reveals the specific interactions that enable solithromycin binding despite double methylation and resistance, as corroborated by microbiological and biochemical data, suggesting that further optimization of ketolide-ribosome interactions could enhance macrolide efficacy against resistant strains.

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.
