Due to the low activity of natural IscBs in eukaryotic cells, recent studies have been focusing on improving OgeuIscB's gene editing efficiency via protein engineering. However, in vivo gene editing efficacy of IscBs for disease correction remained to be demonstrated. Here, we showed effective gene knockout and base editing in mouse embryos. To further improve IscB activity, we performed systematic engineering of IscB-associated ωRNA and identified a variant, ωRNA-v2, with enhanced gene editing efficiency. Furthermore, our study demonstrated the efficacy of an engineered IscB-ωRNA system for robust gene knockout and base editing in vivo. Single AAV delivery of IscB-derived cytosine and adenine base editors achieved disease correction in a mouse model of tyrosinemia. Therefore, our results indicated the great potential of miniature IscBs for developing single-AAV-based gene editing therapeutics.
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.
