PubMed AbstractThe human coronavirus HCoV-OC43 (OC43) is the most widespread of the four common cold-causing seasonal coronaviruses, and tissue culture-adapted strains of it have been used for ~50 years. ...The human coronavirus HCoV-OC43 (OC43) is the most widespread of the four common cold-causing seasonal coronaviruses, and tissue culture-adapted strains of it have been used for ~50 years. Nevertheless, clinical isolates of OC43 differ from tissue culture-adapted OC43 in ways that call into question the value of the latter as a model. Among these are differences in their entry mechanisms and the activities of their hemagglutinin-esterases (HE). We now show that the spike proteins of OC43 clinical isolates differ from that of the tissue culture-adapted reference strain (OC43-Lab) in their carbohydrate-binding properties and ability to bind mucins, decoy receptors cleaved by the HE. We also show that, unlike HCoV-HKU1 (HKU1), they do not bind with high affinity and specificity the 9-O-acetylated α2-8-linked disialic acid moiety implicated in viral entry for OC43-Lab and HKU1. The spike proteins of the OC43 clinical isolates possess two inserts, not found in OC43-Lab, that flank the carbohydrate-binding site. Our structural analysis of a representative clinical isolate shows that insert-2 is a determinant of these specificity differences and that the carbohydrate-binding site undergoes conformational changes on carbohydrate binding. These structural features are shared by HKU1 and suggest common mechanisms for adaptation to the human sialoglycome.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.
