Journal: Blood / Year: 2024 Title: Cryo-EM structure and functional basis of prothrombin recognition by a type I antiprothrombin antiphospholipid antibody.

Prothrombin adopts closed and open forms. We recently discovered type I and type II antibodies and proposed that type I recognizes the open form. In this study, we report the discovery and structural and functional characterization in human plasma of a type I antibody, POmAb (prothrombin open monoclonal antibody). Using surface plasmon resonance and single-molecule spectroscopy, we show that POmAb interacts with kringle-1 of prothrombin, shifting the equilibrium toward the open form. Using single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we establish that the epitope targeted by POmAb is in kringle-1, comprising an extended binding interface centered at residues R90-Y93. The 3.2-Å cryo-EM structure of the complex reveals that the epitope overlaps with the position occupied by the protease domain of prothrombin in the closed state, explaining the exclusive binding of POmAb to the open form. In human plasma, POmAb prolongs phospholipid-initiated and diluted Russell's viper venom clotting time, which could be partly rescued by excess phospholipids, indicating POmAb is an anticoagulant but exerts a weak lupus anticoagulant effect. These studies reveal the structural basis of prothrombin recognition by a type I antiphospholipid antibody and uncover an exciting new strategy to achieve anticoagulation in human plasma.

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.
