IAVs exhibit ...Airborne transmission of influenza A virus (IAV) poses significant challenges to public health. However, the mechanisms governing viral inactivation in aerosols remain poorly understood. IAVs exhibit morphological variability, ranging from 100 nm spherical virions to micrometer-long filaments, depending on strain and growth conditions. Although virion morphology was shown to influence transmissibility, the mechanisms of how morphology affects airborne transmission are yet to be delineated. Here, we investigated the impact of virion shape on IAV stability in bulk solutions and an aerosol system with a focus on particles in the submicrometer range to examine how physicochemical aerosol properties, such as elevated solute concentration and low pH, affect infectivity. We show that filamentous viruses exhibit enhanced stability in aerosol particles at 80% relative humidity (RH) and in bulk solution mimicking increased salinity at this RH. Similarly, filamentous viruses exhibited slower decay under acidic conditions, both in bulk solutions and in acidified aerosol particles. Using primary human airway cultures, we further found that filamentous IAVs possess an infectivity advantage under mucosal immune pressures, including neutralizing antibodies and mucus. These results reveal that filamentous shape provides IAV with enhanced stability under diverse environmental conditions in the aerosol phase and increased infectivity in the respiratory epithelium.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.

Yorodumi

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • 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.
