Journal: EMBO J / Year: 2026 Title: Structure and receptor recognition of type-II feline infectious peritonitis virus spike glycoprotein.

FIPV-II infects felids using cat aminopeptidase N (cAPN) as its cell-entry receptor, but the molecular details remain unclear. Here, we resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the spike (S) trimer of a representative FIPV-II strain 79-1146 (FIPV-1146), and of its complex with cAPN. The reconstructions reveal structural transitions of the S protein between the "standing" and "lying" receptor-binding domain (RBD) conformation upon complex formation with cAPN in its open conformation. Structural and mutational analyses revealed that the cAPN residues R378, D751 and R779, as well as the N748-linked glycan are essential for high-affinity RBD engagement. Cross-species analysis demonstrated narrow tropism of FIPV-1146, limited to felids and canids. Introducing the N595K and Q596R substitutions found in transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) into the FIPV-1146 RBD expands its binding capacity to APNs from pig, bovine, horse and giant panda. These findings provide insights into the entry mechanism and zoonotic constraints of FIPV-II, with potential relevance for antiviral strategies against coronaviruses.
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.
