In a mouse model of intestinal helminth infection using (), we show that helminthic glutamate dehydrogenase (heGDH) drives parasite chronicity by suppressing macrophage-mediated host defense. Combining RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and targeted lipidomics, we identify prostaglandin E (PGE) as a major immune regulatory mechanism of heGDH. The induction of PGE and other immunoregulatory factors, including IL-12 family cytokines and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1, by heGDH required p300-mediated histone acetylation, whereas the enzyme's catalytic activity suppressed the synthesis of type 2-promoting leukotrienes by macrophages via 2-hydroxyglutarate. By contrast, the induction of immunoregulatory factors involved the heGDH N terminus by potentially mediating interactions with cellular targets (CD64 and GPNMB) identified by proteomics. Type 2 cytokines counteracted suppressive effects of heGDH on host defense, indicating that type 2 immunity can limit helminth-driven immune evasion. Thus, helminths harness a ubiquitous metabolic enzyme to epigenetically target type 2 macrophage activation and establish chronicity.
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.
