The deposition of H3K36me3 occurs co-transcriptionally when the methyltransferase SETD2 associates with RNA polymerase II. Here we present three cryo-EM structures of SETD2 bound to RNA polymerase II elongation complexes at different states of nucleosome passage. Together with functional probing, our results suggest a 3-step mechanism of transcription-coupled H3K36me3 deposition. First, binding to the elongation factor SPT6 tethers the catalytic SET domain in proximity to the upstream DNA. Second, RNA polymerase II nucleosome passage leads to the transfer of a hexasome from downstream to upstream, poised for methylation. Finally, continued transcription leads to upstream nucleosome reassembly, partial dissociation of the histone chaperone FACT and sequential methylation of both H3 tails, completing H3K36me3 deposition of an upstream nucleosome after RNA polymerase II passage.
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.
