Three structural proteins form the stable core of the rixosome to which three enzymatic modules are flexibly tethered including an RNA processing module, AAA-ATPase, and SUMO protease. The RNA processing module is formed by RNase PNK, a tetrameric assembly comprising two copies each of the LAS1L endoribonuclease (RNase) and the NOL9 polynucleotide kinase (PNK). Using single particle cryo-EM, we determined ATPγS and AMP-PNP/RNA-bound structures of human RNase PNK. The structures revealed the overall butterfly-like architecture of the complex and provide new insights into the mechanism of RNA accommodation and 5' hydroxyl phosphorylation within the NOL9 active site. Through reconstitution studies and molecular modeling, we establish how RNase PNK is incorporated into the larger rixosome complex by a distinct domain of LAS1L. Finally, we show that the human 5'-3' exoribonuclease XRN2 directly associates with RNase PNK and selectively degrades NOL9-phosphorylated RNA in vitro, thereby linking ITS2 processing by the rixosome to processive exonucleolytic decay. Collectively this work establishes an updated model for how the rixosome integrates its diverse enzymatic activities to regulate ITS2 processing.
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.
