They are extensively somatically mutated and sometimes accumulate CDRL1 deletions. Such indels may allow VRC01-class antibodies to accommodate the glycans expressed on a conserved N276 N-linked glycosylation site in loop D of the gp120 subunit. These glycans constitute a major obstacle in the development of VRC01-class antibodies, as unmutated antibody forms are unable to accommodate them. Although immunizations of knock-in mice expressing human VRC01-class B-cell receptors (BCRs) with specifically designed Env-derived immunogens lead to the accumulation of somatic mutations in VRC01-class BCRs, CDRL1 deletions are rarely observed, and the elicited antibodies display narrow neutralizing activities. The lack of broad neutralizing potential could be due to the absence of deletions, the lack of appropriate somatic mutations, or both. To address this point, we modified our previously determined prime-boost immunization with a germline-targeting immunogen nanoparticle (426c.Mod.Core), followed by a heterologous core nanoparticle (HxB2.WT.Core), by adding a final boost with a cocktail of various stabilized soluble Env trimers. We isolated VRC01-like antibodies with extensive somatic mutations and, in one case, a seven-amino acid CDRL1 deletion. We generated chimeric antibodies that combine the vaccine-elicited somatic mutations with CDRL1 deletions present in human mature VRC01 bnAbs. We observed that CDRL1 indels did not improve the neutralizing antibody activities. Our study indicates that CDRL1 length by itself is not sufficient for the broadly neutralizing phenotype of this class of antibodies.

Over the past decade, numerous broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have been isolated from people with HIV. Despite an in-depth knowledge of their structures, epitopes, ontogenies, and, in a few rare cases, their maturation pathways during infection, bnAbs have, so far, not been elicited by vaccination. This necessitates the identification of key obstacles that prevent their elicitation by immunization and overcoming them. Here we examined whether CDRL1 shortening is a prerequisite for the broadly neutralizing potential of VRC01-class bnAbs, which bind within the CD4 receptor binding site of Env. Our findings indicate that CDRL1 shortening by itself is important but not sufficient for the acquisition of neutralization breadth, and suggest that particular combinations of amino acid mutations, not elicited so far by vaccination, are most likely required for the development of such a feature.

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.
