In Escherichia coli, the PriA DNA helicase orchestrates replication restart by assembling the PriA/PriB/DnaT preprimosome complex onto abandoned DNA replication forks and reloading the replicative machinery. We show that the structure of the replication fork lagging strand-whether single- or double-stranded-influences the position of the cysteine-rich region in bound PriA (PriACRR). When PriA binds to synthetic replication forks with a single-stranded lagging strand, the PriACRR is found either in a state similar to free PriA or in a rotated position that encircles the lagging strand and allows PriB recruitment. Binding to a synthetic replication fork with a duplex lagging strand neither alters the PriACRR position nor promotes PriB binding, suggesting PriA must unwind duplex lagging-strand DNA to trigger PriACRR movement and subsequent preprimosome formation. PriA variants designed to destabilize the two PriACRR positions differentially affect ATPase activity, helicase function, PriB binding in vitro, and PriA activity in vivo. These results support a regulatory switch model in which the lagging-strand DNA structure modulates the PriACRR position, thereby governing PriA's biochemical and cellular activities.
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.
