RIG-I has evolved to sensitively recognize viral RNA but tolerate self-RNA. RIG-I mutations causing self-tolerance loss induce IFN-I and chemokines in patients, initiating autoinflammation. We observed that mice expressing the RIG-I patient variant E373A spontaneously developed lupus-like nephritis. Kidney-derived chemokines attracted monocytes through CCR2 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 2) and induced interstitial inflammation and tubular damage. This led to renal dysfunction independently of immunoglobulin G-nucleic acid complex deposition. Sequencing of RIG-I E373A-bound RNA from kidney-derived cells identified short noncoding Y-RNA. Deletion of the most enriched Y-RNA species reduced RIG-I E373A-induced IFN-I responses. Cryo-electron microscopy and molecular analyses revealed that RIG-I E373A binding to the Y-RNA stem region resulted in its activation. Thus, we demonstrate that Y-RNA activates a RIG-I gain-of-function mutant in a tissue-specific manner, causing autoinflammation culminating in lupus nephritis.

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.
