Their antimicrobial activity hinges on their ability to self-associate and coat pathogen-associated compartments or cytosolic bacteria. Coat formation depends on GTPase activity but how nucleotide binding and hydrolysis prime coat formation remains unclear. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the full-length human GBP1 dimer in its guanine nucleotide-bound state and describe the molecular ultrastructure of the GBP1 coat on liposomes and bacterial lipopolysaccharide membranes. Conformational changes of the middle and GTPase effector domains expose the isoprenylated C terminus for membrane association. The α-helical middle domains form a parallel, crossover arrangement essential for coat formation and position the extended effector domain for intercalation into the lipopolysaccharide layer of gram-negative membranes. Nucleotide binding and hydrolysis create oligomeric scaffolds with contractile abilities that promote membrane extrusion and fragmentation. Our data offer a structural and mechanistic framework for understanding GBP1 effector functions in intracellular immunity.

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.
