Whether radial spokes (RSs), which mediate mechano-signal transduction between the central pair and axonemal dynein arms, acquire metazoa-specific subunit(s) in evolution to facilitate this function remains poorly known. Here we report that Gα-GTPase activating protein family member RGS22 is a metazoa-specific component of RS1/2 complexes. Mouse Rgs22-deficient motile cilia exhibit ultrastructural defects, including deformation of the RS1 and disorganization of outer dynein arms. These abnormalities correlate with impaired planar polarity, manifested as unsynchronized ciliary beating and disrupted rotational polarity of basal bodies across the ependyma. The motility deficits further lead to progressive ciliary loss and shortening, resulting in postnatal hydrocephalus. Together, our data identify RGS22 an animal-lineage RS1/2 component required for normal RS architecture and associated with tissue-level ciliary motility and coordination phenotypes.

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.
