Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2024 Title: Dimerization of a 5-kDa domain defines the architecture of the 5-MDa gammaproteobacterial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Authors: Sarah Meinhold / Rafal Zdanowicz / Christoph Giese / Rudi Glockshuber / Abstract: The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) is a ~5 MDa assembly of the catalytic subunits pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). ...The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) is a ~5 MDa assembly of the catalytic subunits pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). The PDHc core is a cubic complex of eight E2 homotrimers. Homodimers of the peripheral subunits E1 and E3 associate with the core by binding to the peripheral subunit binding domain (PSBD) of E2. Previous reports indicated that 12 E1 dimers and 6 E3 dimers bind to the 24-meric E2 core. Using an assembly arrested E2 homotrimer (E2), we show that two of the three PSBDs in the E2 dimerize, that each PSBD dimer cooperatively binds two E1 dimers, and that E3 dimers only bind to the unpaired PSBD in E2. This mechanism is preserved in wild-type PDHc, with an E1 dimer:E2 monomer:E3 dimer stoichiometry of 16:24:8. The conserved PSBD dimer interface indicates that PSBD dimerization is the previously unrecognized architectural determinant of gammaproteobacterial PDHc megacomplexes.
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.
