Authors: Zengwei Liao / Chai C Gopalasingam / Masafumi Kameya / Christoph Gerle / Hideki Shigematsu / Masaharu Ishii / Takatoshi Arakawa / Shinya Fushinobu / Abstract: Group I chaperonins are dual heptamer protein complexes that play significant roles in protein homeostasis. The structure and function of the Escherichia coli chaperonin are well characterized. ...Group I chaperonins are dual heptamer protein complexes that play significant roles in protein homeostasis. The structure and function of the Escherichia coli chaperonin are well characterized. However, the dynamic properties of chaperonins, such as large ATPase-dependent conformational changes by binding of lid-like co-chaperonin GroES, have made structural analyses challenging, and our understanding of these changes during the turnover of chaperonin complex formation is limited. In this study, we used single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy to investigate the structures of GroES-bound chaperonin complexes from the thermophilic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus and Hydrogenobacter thermophilus in the presence of ATP and AMP-PNP. We captured the structure of an intermediate state chaperonin complex, designated as an asymmetric football-shaped complex, and performed analyses to decipher the dynamic structural variations. Our structural analyses of inter- and intra-subunit communications revealed a unique mechanism of complex formation through the binding of a second GroES to a bullet-shaped complex.

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.
