PubMed AbstractThe outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is not energised and so processes requiring a driving force must connect to energy-transduction systems in the inner membrane (IM). Tol (Tol-Pal) and ...The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is not energised and so processes requiring a driving force must connect to energy-transduction systems in the inner membrane (IM). Tol (Tol-Pal) and Ton are related, proton motive force- (PMF-) coupled assemblies that stabilise the OM and import essential nutrients, respectively. Both rely on proton-harvesting IM motor (stator) complexes, which are homologues of the flagellar stator unit Mot, to transduce force to the OM through elongated IM force transducer proteins, TolA and TonB, respectively. How PMF-driven motors in the IM generate mechanical work at the OM via force transducers is unknown. Here, using cryoelectron microscopy, we report the 4.3Å structure of the TolQR motor complex. The structure reaffirms the 5:2 stoichiometry seen in Ton and Mot and, with motor subunits related to each other by 10 to 16° rotation, supports rotary motion as the default for these complexes. We probed the mechanism of force transduction to the OM through in vivo assays of chimeric TolA/TonB proteins where sections of their structurally divergent, periplasm-spanning domains were swapped or replaced by an intrinsically disordered sequence. We find that TolA mutants exhibit a spectrum of force output, which is reflected in their respective abilities to both stabilise the OM and import cytotoxic colicins across the OM. Our studies demonstrate that structural rigidity of force transducer proteins, rather than any particular structural form, drives the efficient conversion of PMF-driven rotary motions of 5:2 motor complexes into physiologically relevant force at the OM.

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.
