Journal: Nucleic Acids Res / Year: 2025 Title: Molecular basis of Streptomyces ECF σShbA factors transcribing principal σHrdB genes.

Although most principal σ genes are transcribed by the RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme containing the principal σ factor itself, an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factor (σShbA) governs transcription of the principal σ factor gene (hrdB) in two model Streptomycetes. Here, we employed a combination of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and bioinformatics to decipher how σShbA-RNAP holoenzymes govern the transcription of hrdB genes in Streptomyces. A cryo-EM structure of Streptomyces coelicolor σShbA-RNAP-promoter open (RPo) complex was solved at 2.97 Å resolution. In combination with in vitro transcription assays, we demonstrate the unique structural features used by the σShbA to recognize the hrdB promoter and form a transcription bubble. All Streptomyces genomes (603) tagged as 'reference' were retrieved from NCBI Datasets. The conserved protein sequences and genomic neighborhoods, as well as the promoter consensus sequences of σShbA and σHrdB homologs, support that the principal σHrdB being governed by the ECF σShbA is a common feature in Streptomyces. Overall, these results provide detailed molecular insights into the transcription of the principal σHrdB gene and pave the way for globally modulating Streptomyces cell viability.
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.
