Journal: Structure / Year: 2023 Title: CryoEM structure of a therapeutic antibody (favezelimab) bound to human LAG3 determined using a bivalent Fab as fiducial marker.

LAG3 is a major target for cancer immunotherapy with many anti-LAG3 ...Lymphocyte activation gene 3 protein (LAG3) is an inhibitory receptor that is upregulated on exhausted T cells in tumors. LAG3 is a major target for cancer immunotherapy with many anti-LAG3 antibodies in clinical trials. However, there is no structural information on the epitopes recognized by these antibodies. We determined the single-particle cryoEM structure of a therapeutic antibody (favezelimab) bound to LAG3 to 3.5 Å resolution, revealing that favezelimab targets the LAG3-binding site for MHC class II, its canonical ligand. The small size of the complex between the conventional (monovalent) Fab of favezelimab and LAG3 (∼100 kDa) presented a challenge for cryoEM. Accordingly, we engineered a bivalent version of Fab favezelimab that doubled the size of the Fab-LAG3 complex and conferred a highly identifiable shape to the complex that facilitated particle selection and orientation for image processing. This study establishes bivalent Fabs as new fiducial markers for cryoEM analysis of small proteins.

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.
