The Env gp120 and gp41 subunits mediate receptor binding and membrane fusion and are generated from the gp160 precursor by cellular furins. This cleavage event is required for viral entry. One approach to generate HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies following immunization is to express membrane-bound Env anchored on the cell-surface by genetic means using the natural HIV gp41 transmembrane (TM) spanning domain. To simplify the process of Env trimer membrane expression we sought to remove the need for Env precursor cleavage while maintaining native-like conformation following genetic expression. To accomplish these objectives, we selected our previously developed 'native flexibly linked' (NFL) stabilized soluble trimers that are both near-native in conformation and cleavage-independent. We genetically fused the NFL construct to the HIV TM domain by using a short linker or by restoring the native membrane external proximal region, absent in soluble trimers, to express the full HIV Env ectodomain on the plasma membrane. Both forms of cell-surface NFL trimers, without and with the MPER, displayed favorable antigenic profiles by flow cytometry when expressed from plasmid DNA or mRNA. These results were consistent with the presence of well-ordered cell surface native-like trimeric Env, a necessary requirement to generate neutralizing antibodies by vaccination. Inoculation of rabbits with mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNP) expressing membrane-bound stabilized HIV Env NFL trimers generated tier 2 neutralizing antibody serum titers in immunized animals. Multiple inoculations of mRNA LNPs generated similar neutralizing antibody titers compared to immunizations of matched NFL soluble proteins in adjuvant. Given the recent success of mRNA vaccines to prevent severe COVID, these are important developments for genetic expression of native-like HIV Env trimers in animals and potentially in humans.

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.
