By extension, complex and efficient electron transfer wires are necessary to connect the various metabolic pathways that are often located in distinct cellular compartments. Here, we uncovered a structural module that enables channeling of quinones from the membrane to various water-soluble redox catalytic units in prokaryotes. Using X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of the unusual bacterial formate dehydrogenase ForCE that contains four ForC catalytic subunits docked around a membrane-associated tetrameric ForE central scaffold. In the latter, a conserved domain that we propose to name helical membrane plugin (HMP) was identified as essential to link formate oxidation, in Bacillus subtilis, to the aerobic respiratory chain. Our bioinformatic analysis indicates that this HMP is associated with different quinone-reducing oxidoreductases, highlighting its broad importance as a functional unit to wire electrons between a given catalytic redox center and the quinone pool.

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.
