However, viral reactivation can cause severe pathology in immunocompromised individuals. We developed a high-throughput, functional antibody screen to examine the humoral response to BK polyomavirus. This approach enabled the isolation of antibodies from all peripheral B cell subsets and revealed the anti-BK virus antibody repertoire as clonally complex with respect to immunoglobulin sequences and isotypes (both IgM and IgG), including a high frequency of monoclonal antibodies that broadly neutralize BK virus subtypes and the related JC polyomavirus. Cryo-electron microscopy of a broadly neutralizing IgG single-chain variable fragment complexed with BK virus-like particles revealed the quaternary nature of a conserved viral epitope at the junction between capsid pentamers. These features unravel a potent modality for inhibiting polyomavirus infection in kidney transplant recipients and other immunocompromised patients.

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.
