The rate-limiting step in apoptosis is mitochondrial poration by the effector B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family proteins BAK and BAX, which are activated by initiator BCL-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only proteins (e.g., BIM) and inhibited by guardian BCL-2 family proteins (e.g., MCL-1). We integrated structural, biochemical, and pharmacological approaches to characterize the human prosurvival MCL-1:BAK complex assembled from their BCL-2 globular core domains. We reveal a canonical interaction with BAK BH3 bound to the hydrophobic groove of MCL-1 and disordered and highly dynamic BAK regions outside the complex interface. We predict similar conformations of activated effectors in complex with other guardians or effectors. The MCL-1:BAK complex is a major cancer drug target. We show that MCL-1 inhibitors are inefficient in neutralizing the MCL-1:BAK complex, requiring high doses to initiate apoptosis. Our study underscores the need to design superior clinical candidate MCL-1 inhibitors.
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.
