Although several of these lytic peptides have been identified and characterized, their manner of deployment and interaction with host membranes remains unclear in most cases. We are using the gamma peptide of Flock House Virus (FHV), a model non-enveloped virus, to understand the mechanistic details of non-enveloped virus interaction with host cell membranes. We utilized a combination of biophysical assays, molecular dynamics simulation studies, and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate the functional and structural determinants for membrane penetration by gamma in context of the FHV capsid. Although the amphipathic, helical N-terminal region of gamma (γ1) was previously thought to be the membrane-penetrating module, with the C-terminal region having a supporting role in correct structural positioning of γ1, we demonstrate that the C terminus of gamma directly participates in membrane penetration. Our studies suggest that full-length gamma, including the hydrophobic C terminus, forms an alpha-helical hairpin motif, and any disruption in this motif drastically reduces its functionality, in spite of the correct positioning of amphipathic γ1 in the virus capsid. Taken together, our data suggest that the most effective module for membrane disruption is a pentameric unit of full-length gamma, released from the virus, which associates with membranes via both N- and C-terminal ends.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.
