Despite their prevalence, understanding HCoVs' antigenic and immune signatures remains elusive. SARS-CoV-2 has evolved as the fifth HCoV, requiring seasonal vaccination, and currently, no other HCoV vaccines are available. SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with HCoVs increases disease severity; thus, combined vaccination may provide increased protection against seasonal HCoVs overall. Here, we explored spike (S) receptor binding domain (RBD) vs. N-terminal domain (NTD) B-cell immunodominance in HCoV-positive convalescent donors and immunogenicity in mice. We found that while antibody and B-cell isotypes were relatively dominant to S NTD, mice immunized with S RBD elicited significantly higher binding and neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses. With that knowledge, we used computational methods to infer that HCoV S sequences evolve into two main clades and designed chimeric immunodominant domains (IDDs) from both clades for each HCoV. IDDs were scaffolded onto two-component nanoparticles (NPs) displaying each IDD separately (monovalent IDD NP); three ß-HCoV IDDs (Mosaic-3 IDD NP); or five HCoVs IDDs (Mosaic-5 IDD NP). Mice immunized with mosaic IDD NPs, but not soluble IDD antigens nor monovalent IDD NPs, elicited potent, broadly cross-reactive binding and neutralizing antibody (Ab) responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants, other HCoVs, and Sarbecoviruses. System serology revealed that all four IDD immunogens elicited distinct Ab subclasses and Fc-effector functions, with mosaic-5 IDD NPs eliciting the most Ab subclasses, distributions, and broader Fc-mediated immune mechanisms. Dissection of vaccine-immune sera revealed polyclonal Ab responses against multiple non-overlapping cross-reactive S epitopes. Due to elicitation of broad Ab responses with combinatory functionality, IDD NPs open new horizons for developing first-in-class supraseasonal HCoV vaccine candidates, with potential to decrease frequent SARS-CoV-2 sequence updates and protect against other HCoVs. Moreover, elicitation of Ab breadth that spans pandemic-threat Sarbecoviruses gives mosaic IDD NPs promise towards pandemic preparedness.
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.
