Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2024 Title: Cryo-EM reveals structural basis for human AIM/CD5L recognition of polymeric immunoglobulin M. Authors: Qu Chen / Kazuhiro Ishii / Haruka Mori / Akemi Nishijima / Satoko Arai / Toru Miyazaki / Peter B Rosenthal / Abstract: Cell surface scavenger receptors contribute to homoeostasis and the response to pathogens and products associated with damage by binding to common molecular features on a wide range of targets. ...Cell surface scavenger receptors contribute to homoeostasis and the response to pathogens and products associated with damage by binding to common molecular features on a wide range of targets. Apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM/CD5L) is a soluble protein belonging to the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily that contributes to prevention of a wide range of diseases associated with infection, inflammation, and cancer. AIM forms complexes with IgM pentamers which helps maintain high-levels of circulating AIM in serum for subsequent activation on release from the complex. The structural basis for AIM recognition of IgM as well as other binding targets is unknown. Here we apply cryogenic electron microscopy imaging (cryo-EM) to show how interfaces on both of AIM's C-terminal SRCR domains interact with the Fcμ constant region and J chain components of the IgM core. Both SRCR interfaces are also shown to contribute interactions important for AIM binding to damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).
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.
