Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2025 Title: Structural analysis of HER2-trastuzumab complex reveals receptor conformational adaptation. Authors: Santiago Vacca / Marcos Gragera / Alejandro Buschiazzo / David Herreros / James M Krieger / Santiago Bonn-Garcia / Roberto Melero / Carlos Os Sorzano / Jose M Carazo / Ohad Medalia / Andreas Plückthun / Abstract: Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase, associated with a variety of malignant tumors, usually through overexpression, resulting in aberrant signaling. ...Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase, associated with a variety of malignant tumors, usually through overexpression, resulting in aberrant signaling. Trastuzumab (TZB), one of the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used in combination with chemotherapy, has become a major therapeutic for HER2-overexpressing cancers. Current structural understanding of HER2 and its interactions with other receptors and with different affinity agents has relied on numerous structures of individual domains of HER2. Here, we subjected purified near full-length HER2 to single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis. Besides the canonical conformation described in previous structural studies, we report a previously unreported conformation of the HER2 extracellular domain that is stabilized upon TZB binding, which might hamper association with HER3, a receptor with which HER2 forms an oncogenic unit. Together, our findings provide insights into the conformational dynamics of the HER2 receptor and the mechanism of action of TZB.

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.
