Mutations in POLG, which encodes POLγA, lead to various mitochondrial diseases. We investigated the most common POLG mutations (A467T, W748S, G848S, Y955C) by characterizing human and mouse POLγ variants. Our data reveal that these mutations significantly impair POLγ activities, with mouse variants exhibiting milder defects. Cryogenic electron microscopy highlighted structural differences between human and mouse POLγ, particularly in the POLγB subunit, which may explain the higher activity of mouse POLγ and the reduced severity of mutations in mice. We further generated a panel of mouse models mirroring common human POLG mutations, providing crucial insights into the pathogenesis of POLG-related disorders and establishing robust models for therapeutic development. Our findings emphasize the importance of POLγB in modulating the severity of POLG mutations.

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.
