Journal: J Virol / Year: 2025 Title: Birds of a feather flock together: structural characterization of red-crowned crane and turkey aveparvoviruses.

To date, parvoviruses affecting birds have been identified in two genera: - and , and no capsid structures have been determined for any member of . This study investigates two bird viruses of this genus: red-crowned crane parvovirus (RCPV) and turkey parvovirus (TuPV). While the pathogenicity of RCPV is currently unknown, TuPV has been associated with gastrointestinal diseases, especially in juvenile birds. High-resolution structures of the RCPV and TuPV capsids were determined by cryo-electron microscopy at a resolution of 2.66 Å and 2.35 Å, respectively. A structural comparison of the RCPV and TuPV capsids shows that they exhibit many conserved features, such as a channel at the five-fold symmetry axis and surface depressions at the two-fold axis, as previously observed in parvoviruses from other genera. However, major structural differences were observed at the three-fold axes, with both RCPV and TuPV displaying recessed protrusions. In addition, terminal sialic acid was identified as a potential glycan receptor for RCPV. This study extends the architectural portfolio of structural parvovirology and will provide insights into parvoviral diversity and characterization of these viruses.IMPORTANCEThis study presents the capsid structures of two aveparvoviruses, red-crowned crane parvovirus (RCPV) and turkey parvovirus (TuPV), extending the structural repertoire of the . While the pathogenicity of RCPV is unknown, the red-crowned cranes are among the rarest crane species. To date, very few virological studies have been conducted for this rare avian species, and understanding their virome could contribute to conservation efforts. Additionally, several studies have previously suggested that TuPV is associated with cases of enteric disease syndrome. To date, no commercial antivirals or vaccines are available for TuPV. The structural characterization of its capsid may contribute toward the development of a treatment to control the spread of infection.
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.
