Here, we report the crystal and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of Leminorella grimontii galactitol-specific PTS enzyme IIC component (LgGatC), which is implicated in D-xylose uptake and belongs to the ascorbate-galactitol (AG) superfamily of IIC proteins. These structures, determined in the presence and absence of D-xylose, capture the transporter in an outward-facing conformation. A homology model of an inward-facing state, constructed based on these structures, supports an elevator-like transport mechanism. These findings provide structural insights into substrate recognition by GatC and offer a framework for understanding sugar transport in PTS IIC proteins.
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.
