In Flavobacterium johnsoniae, one gene contains a strong SD sequence-rpsU, which encodes bS21. Flavobacterium johnsoniae ribosomes lacking bS21 translate rpsU at a higher rate, which establishes an autoregulatory cycle. Here, we targeted the ASD of 16S rRNA in F. johnsoniae, ablating the core element (CCUCC to GAAGC). Replacement of each 16S gene with this quadruple-substituted (QS) allele had little effect until the last gene was changed. The final strain, containing only QS ribosomes, grows poorly. This defect can be largely rescued by replacing the translation initiation region (TIR) of rpsU with the SD-less TIR of tuf. Purified QS ribosomes fail to translate native rpsU messenger RNA (mRNA) but are active on SD-less mRNAs. We also selected suppressors of the ASD-ablated strain, many of which carried a point mutation in the SD of rpsU. Such mutations increase bS21 synthesis in the ASD-ablated strain but reduce bS21 synthesis by wild-type ribosomes, underscoring the importance of SD-ASD pairing in the natural case. We also find that ASD ablation inhibits rRNA processing, an effect independent of bS21.
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.
