Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2022 Title: Structural basis for host recognition and superinfection exclusion by bacteriophage T5.

To prevent secondary infection by the same or a closely related phage and nonproductive phage adsorption to lysed cell fragments, superinfection exclusion (SE) proteins can prevent the binding of RBPs via modulation of the host receptor structure in ways that are also unclear. Here, we present the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the phage T5 outer membrane (OM) receptor FhuA in complex with the T5 RBP pb5, and the crystal structure of FhuA complexed to the OM SE lipoprotein Llp. Pb5 inserts four loops deeply into the extracellular lumen of FhuA and contacts the plug but does not cause any conformational changes in the receptor, supporting the view that DNA translocation does not occur through the lumen of OM channels. The FhuA-Llp structure reveals that Llp is periplasmic and binds to a nonnative conformation of the plug of FhuA, causing the inward folding of two extracellular loops via "reverse" allostery. The inward-folded loops of FhuA overlap with the pb5 binding site, explaining how Llp binding to FhuA abolishes further infection of by phage T5 and suggesting a mechanism for SE via the jamming of TonB-dependent transporters by small phage lipoproteins.

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.
