However, most RtcBs are found in bacteria, whose tRNAs have no introns. Because tRNAs are the substrates of archaeal and eukaryotic RtcB, it is assumed that bacterial RtcBs are for repair of damaged tRNAs. Here, we show that a subset of bacterial RtcB, denoted RtcB2 herein, specifically repair ribosomal damage in the decoding center. To access the damage site for repair, however, the damaged 70S ribosome needs to be dismantled first, and this is accomplished by bacterial PrfH. Peptide-release assays revealed that PrfH is only active with the damaged 70S ribosome but not with the intact one. A 2.55-Å cryo-electron microscopy structure of PrfH in complex with the damaged 70S ribosome provides molecular insight into PrfH discriminating between the damaged and the intact ribosomes via specific recognition of the cleaved 3'-terminal nucleotide. RNA repair assays demonstrated that RtcB2 efficiently repairs the damaged 30S ribosomal subunit but not the damaged tRNAs. Cell-based assays showed that the RtcB2-PrfH pair reverse the damage inflicted by ribosome-specific ribotoxins in vivo. Thus, our combined biochemical, structural, and cell-based studies have uncovered a bacterial defense system specifically evolved to reverse the lethal ribosomal damage in the decoding center for cell survival.
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.
