Journal: bioRxiv / Year: 2025 Title: The 2'-endo conformation of arabinose-CTP and arabinose-UTP inhibit viral polymerases by inducing long pauses.

Nucleoside analogs are a key class of drugs that have demonstrated potential for the inhibition of several viral species. Here, we evaluate arabinose nucleotides (ara-NTP) as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 and poliovirus polymerases using biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. Ara-NTPs compete poorly with their natural counterparts for incorporation into RNA by viral polymerases. However, upon incorporation, ara-NMPs induce long polymerase pausing in both SARS-CoV-2 and poliovirus polymerase RNA elongation. Our studies suggest that subsequent nucleotide incorporation is inhibited at the catalytic step due to the 2'-endo sugar pucker of the incorporated ara-NMP.

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.
