Journal: Cell Res / Year: 2020 Title: Structural insights into secretory immunoglobulin A and its interaction with a pneumococcal adhesin. Authors: Yuxin Wang / Guopeng Wang / Yaxin Li / Qinyu Zhu / Hao Shen / Ning Gao / Junyu Xiao / Abstract: Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is the most abundant antibody at the mucosal surface.

SC ...Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is the most abundant antibody at the mucosal surface. It possesses two additional subunits besides IgA: the joining chain (J-chain) and secretory component (SC). SC is the ectodomain of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), which functions to transport IgA to the mucosa. How the J-chain and pIgR/SC facilitate the assembly and secretion of SIgA remains incompletely understood. Furthermore, during the infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae, the pneumococcal adhesin SpsA hijacks pIgR/SC and SIgA to gain entry to human cells and evade host defense. How SpsA targets pIgR/SC and SIgA also remains elusive. Here we report a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the Fc region of IgA1 (Fcα) in complex with the J-chain and SC (Fcα-J-SC), which reveals the organization principle of SIgA. We also present a structure of Fcα-J-SC complexed with SpsA, which uncovers the specific interactions between SpsA and human pIgR/SC. These results advance the molecular understanding of SIgA and shed light on S. pneumoniae pathogenesis.

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.
