Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2025 Title: Cryo-EM structure of the prohibitin complex in open conformation. Authors: Sixing Hong / Zeyuan Guan / Liying Zhang / Jinjin Zhuang / Ling Yan / Yanjun Liu / Zhu Liu / Qiang Wang / Ping Yin / Abstract: Prohibitin 1 (PHB1) and Prohibitin 2 (PHB2), two conserved prohibitin members, are primarily localized to the mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM) to form a nanoscale macromolecular prohibitin complex. ...Prohibitin 1 (PHB1) and Prohibitin 2 (PHB2), two conserved prohibitin members, are primarily localized to the mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM) to form a nanoscale macromolecular prohibitin complex. This prohibitin complex can facilitate the spatial organization of proteins and lipids, thus maintaining cellular metabolism and homeostasis, but its architecture remains largely unknown. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of a prohibitin complex at 2.8 Å resolution, which contains 11 PHB1-PHB2 heterodimers. This complex displays a bell-like cage, consisting of a lid and a wall, which creates an intermembrane space-facing compartment for the MIM. The lid of the cage is stably assembled, and it is responsible for the prohibitin complex formation. In contrast, the wall of the cage is flexible and exhibits lateral openings, providing a channel for intramembrane exchange of proteins and lipids. These findings provide a structural basis for understanding the scaffold role of the prohibitin complex in organizing intramembrane proteins and lipids.
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.
