Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026 Title: Phage-encoded factor stimulates DNA degradation by the Hna anti-phage defense system.

Hna is a broadly distributed anti-phage ...Prokaryotic organisms have evolved unique strategies to acquire immunity against the constant threat of bacteriophage (phage) and mobile genetic elements. Hna is a broadly distributed anti-phage immune system that confers resistance against diverse phage by eliciting an abortive infection response. Using a combination of biochemistry, cryo-electron microscopy, and single-molecule fluorescence imaging, we reveal that Hna functions as a 3'-5' single-stranded DNA exonuclease that forms an auto-inhibited dimer under physiological ATP concentrations. Biochemical and mutational analyses demonstrate that Hna catalytic outputs are governed by kinetic partitioning between ATPase and nuclease active sites. Disruption of this balance enhances DNA cleavage and causes cellular toxicity. Furthermore, we show that a phage-encoded single-stranded DNA-binding protein (5 A SSB) destabilizes the autoinhibited Hna dimer and shifts catalytic partitioning toward dysregulated nuclease activation. Conversely, phage escape mutants encode SSB variants that evade Hna surveillance by adopting higher order stoichiometries with enhanced DNA binding affinity. Our work establishes the molecular basis of Hna-mediated anti-phage activity and provides insights into how phage-encoded proteins can directly stimulate a bacterial immune response.
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.
