Both activating and inactivating mutations in the ubiquitin ligase subunit SPOP result in oncogenesis in different tissues. SPOP assembles into filaments that are multivalent for substrates, and substrates have multiple weak motifs for SPOP that are not activated via post-translational modifications. It is thus unclear how regulation is achieved. Here, we show that SPOP filaments circularize into rings that dimerize into up to 2.5 MDa-large, auto-inhibited double donuts. The equilibrium between double donuts and linear filaments determines SPOP activity. Activating and deactivating cancer mutations shift the equilibrium towards the filament or the double donut, respectively, and this influences substrate turnover and subcellular localization. This regulatory mechanism requires long filaments that can circularize into rings, likely explaining the presence of multiple weak SPOP-binding motifs in substrates. Activating and deactivating mutations combine to give rise to intermediate activities, suggesting new levers for cancer therapies.

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.
