Journal: Cell Rep / Year: 2024 Title: Mosaic RBD nanoparticle elicits immunodominant antibody responses across sarbecoviruses. Authors: Chuanyu Liu / Senyu Xu / Yuxuan Zheng / Yufeng Xie / Kun Xu / Yan Chai / Tingrong Luo / Lianpan Dai / George F Gao / Abstract: Nanoparticle vaccines displaying mosaic receptor-binding domains (RBDs) or spike (S) from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or other sarbecoviruses are used in ...Nanoparticle vaccines displaying mosaic receptor-binding domains (RBDs) or spike (S) from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or other sarbecoviruses are used in preparedness against potential zoonotic outbreaks. Here, we describe a self-assembling nanoparticle using lumazine synthase (LuS) as the scaffold to display RBDs from different sarbecoviruses. Mosaic nanoparticles induce sarbecovirus cross-neutralizing antibodies comparable to a nanoparticle cocktail. We find mosaic nanoparticles elicit a B cell receptor repertoire using an immunodominant germline gene pair of IGHV14-3:IGKV14-111. Most of the tested IGHV14-3:IGKV14-111 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are broadly cross-reactive to clade 1a, 1b, and 3 sarbecoviruses. Using mAb competition and cryo-electron microscopy, we determine that a representative IGHV14-3:IGKV14-111 mAb, M2-7, binds to a conserved epitope on the RBD, largely overlapping with the pan-sarbecovirus mAb S2H97. This suggests mosaic nanoparticles expand B cell recognition of the common epitopes shared by different clades of sarbecoviruses. These results provide immunological insights into the cross-reactive responses elicited by mosaic nanoparticles against sarbecoviruses.
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.
