One of the genes within this cluster encodes a flavin monooxygenase (BnFMO) that is hypothesized to catalyze a hydroxylation reaction. Kinetic analyses of the recombinantly purified BnFMO suggest that this enzyme catalyzes the hydroxylation of 2,6-dihydroxynicotinic acid (2,6-DHNA) or 2,6-dihydroxypyridine (2,6-DHP), which is formed spontaneously by the decarboxylation of 2,6-DHNA. To understand the details of this hydroxylation reaction, we determined the structure of BnFMO using a multimodel approach combining protein X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). A liganded BnFMO cryo-EM structure was obtained in the presence of 2,6-DHP, allowing us to make predictions about potential catalytic residues. The structural data demonstrate that BnFMO is trimeric, which is unusual for Class A flavin monooxygenases. In both the electron density and coulomb potential maps, a region at the trimeric interface was observed that was consistent with and modeled as lipid molecules. High-resolution mass spectral analysis suggests that there is a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol lipids present. Together, these data provide insights into the molecular details of the central hydroxylation reaction unique to the aerobic degradation of NA in .
Evidence: electron microscopy, not applicable, assay for oligomerization, Analytical ultracentrifugation indicates an appropriate molecular weight for the predicted trimer

Feb 9, 2022. New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
Version 3 of the EMDB header file is now the official format.
The previous official version 1.9 will be removed from the archive.
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.
Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
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.
