Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), the sole membrane protein on the HBV viral envelope, plays crucial roles in viral attachment to host cells and serves as the target for neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). Despite its functional and therapeutic significance, the mechanisms by which NAbs recognize HBsAg remain elusive. Here, we found that HBsAg proteins exist in distinct subtypes and are recognized by different groups of antibodies. Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) structures of HBsAg dimers in complex with NAb Fab fragments reveal that the antigenic loop (AGL) of these distinct HBsAg types share a common structural core comprised of four β-strands. However, their surface structures exhibit unexpected polymorphism due to distinct disulfide bond linkages within the AGL region. This structural polymorphism determines the recognition of HBsAg by different groups of NAbs.

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.

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.
