Ngo demonstrates a remarkable capacity to overcome nutritional immunity through the deployment of specialized transporters that pirate metals such as zinc from human proteins such as calprotectin (hCP). We report the cryo-EM structure of Ngo TdfH in complex with a heterotetramer of hCP. An extensive binding interface is mediated almost entirely by the S100A9 subunits of hCP. Mutagenesis studies of residues in the large binding interface reveal minimal effects from single-site mutations, whereas larger truncations disrupt binding and function. These results support a mechanistic model based on the large interaction interface overcoming a steric clash between α-helix III of S100A9 and loops 5 and 9 of TdfH, which leads to the distortion of the proximal His6 site, followed by zinc release, and import through the barrel domain.
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.
