Vaccination is hindered by antigenic diversity across serotypes. To identify cross-serotype neutralising epitopes, we isolated 24 FMDV-specific antibodies from cattle sequentially vaccinated with antigens from four serotypes, of which three neutralised three vaccine strains. These three antibodies neutralised 21 and bound 59 additional topotypes across O, A, Asia 1, and C serotypes. Cryo-EM complexes of Fabs with FMD virus-like particles indicated all three recognise a common flexible epitope at the VP1 C-terminus, confirmed by binding competition. Crystallography and structural modelling revealed that a normally inaccessible surface of the hydrophobic VP1 C-terminal peptides inserts into a similar groove in all three antibodies. Comparison of neutralisation activity and integrin receptor blocking by whole antibodies, F(ab')s, and Fabs suggests neutralisation is mediated by Fc steric hindrance of receptor binding. This cryptic, linear, and cross-serotype neutralising epitope may inform improved FMD vaccines.

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.
