Here we report the 2.95-Å crystal structure of Nicotiana tabacum Rubisco activase (Rca), the enzyme that facilitates the removal of these inhibitors. Rca from tobacco has a classical AAA(+)-protein domain architecture. Although Rca populates a range of oligomeric states when in solution, it forms a helical arrangement with six subunits per turn when in the crystal. However, negative-stain electron microscopy of the active mutant R294V suggests that Rca functions as a hexamer. The residues determining species specificity for Rubisco are located in a helical insertion of the C-terminal domain and probably function in conjunction with the N-domain in Rubisco recognition. Loop segments exposed toward the central pore of the hexamer are required for the ATP-dependent remodeling of Rubisco, resulting in the release of inhibitory sugar.
THE ANALYSIS OF THE CBBX PROTEIN IN SOLUTION AND EM STUDIES SUGGEST THAT THE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE OLIGOMER IS A HEXAMER, BUT IT CANNOT BE GENERATED BY THE APPLICATION OF SYMMETRY OPERATORS TO THE CHAINS IN THE COORDINATE FILE.

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.
