Xanthomonas phages have emerged as a promising biocontrol strategy in managing various important plant diseases caused by Xanthomonas bacteria. However, structural information for Xanthomonas phages has remained limited so far. Here, we present high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the Xanthomonas citri phage ΦXacJX1 from siphoviruses. These structures include atomic models for the head, head-to-tail connector and head-proximal portion of the tail. ΦXacJX1's head and head-to-tail connector components show significant protein sequence and structural homology with those of the model siphophage HK97. However, the in-situ structures of head-to-tail connector of phage HK97 remain unavailable. The presented structures of phage ΦXacJX1 enhance our understanding of Xanthomonas phages and the mature virion of phage HK97. They provide a valuable framework for future structural and functional studies on both Xanthomonas phages and phage HK97.
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.
