Heme transfer to IsdB is possible from oxidized Hb (metHb), but ...Iron surface determinant B (IsdB) is a hemoglobin (Hb) receptor essential for hemic iron acquisition by Staphylococcus aureus. Heme transfer to IsdB is possible from oxidized Hb (metHb), but inefficient from Hb either bound to oxygen (oxyHb) or bound to carbon monoxide (HbCO), and encompasses a sequence of structural events that are currently poorly understood. By single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of two IsdB:Hb complexes, representing key species along the heme extraction pathway. The IsdB:HbCO structure, at 2.9-Å resolution, provides a snapshot of the preextraction complex. In this early stage of IsdB:Hb interaction, the hemophore binds to the β-subunits of the Hb tetramer, exploiting a folding-upon-binding mechanism that is likely triggered by a cis/trans isomerization of Pro173. Binding of IsdB to α-subunits occurs upon dissociation of the Hb tetramer into α/β dimers. The structure of the IsdB:metHb complex reveals the final step of the extraction process, where heme transfer to IsdB is completed. The stability of the complex, both before and after heme transfer from Hb to IsdB, is influenced by isomerization of Pro173. These results greatly enhance current understanding of structural and dynamic aspects of the heme extraction mechanism by IsdB and provide insight into the interactions that stabilize the complex before the heme transfer event. This information will support future efforts to identify inhibitors of heme acquisition by S. aureus by interfering with IsdB:Hb complex formation.

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.
