Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2025 Title: Structures of TOM complexes with bound preproteins.

Preproteins containing targeting signals are recognized by the TOM receptor subunits and translocated by Tom40 across the outer mitochondrial membrane. We present four structures of the preprotein-bound and preprotein-free TOM core and holo complexes from the thermophilic fungus , obtained by single-particle electron cryomicroscopy. Our structures reveal the symmetric arrangement of two copies of the Tom20 receptor subunit in the TOM holo complex. Several different conformations of Tom20 within the TOM holo complex highlight the dynamic nature of the receptor. The structure of preprotein-bound Tom20 provides insight into the early stages of protein translocation.

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.
