While NPCs have been well studied in vertebrates, yeast and algae, in situ structural data for higher plants is lacking. Here we show that individual nucleoporins of Arabidopsis thaliana and humans exhibit high structural similarity. We report an in situ NPC structure of higher plants, derived from A. thaliana root protoplasts using cryo-electron tomography, subtomogram averaging and homology-based integrative modelling. We present the AtNPC model based on predictions of A. thaliana nucleoporins (NUPs), supported by mass spectrometry. Here the AtNPC scaffold contains one Y-complex ring at the cytosolic and two at the nuclear ring. The AtNPC contains prominent NUP155 connector elements that are conserved in human NPCs but not in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii NPCs. Our model suggests that the ELYS homologue HOS1 plays an important role in the head-to-tail connection of Y-complexes in AtNPCs.
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.
