PubMed AbstractChromatin remodelers regulate gene expression and genome maintenance by controlling nucleosome positioning, but the structural basis for their regulated and directional activity remains poorly ...Chromatin remodelers regulate gene expression and genome maintenance by controlling nucleosome positioning, but the structural basis for their regulated and directional activity remains poorly understood. Here, we present three cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1) bound to nucleosomes that reveal previously unobserved recruitment and regulatory states. We identify a structural element, termed the "anchor element," that connects the CHD1 ATPase motor to the nucleosome entry-side acidic patch. The anchor element coordinates with other regulatory modules, including the gating element, which undergoes a conformational switch critical for remodeling. Our structures demonstrate how the DNA-binding region of CHD1 binds entry- and exit-side DNA during remodeling to achieve directional sliding. The observed structural elements are conserved across chromatin remodelers, suggesting a unified mechanism for nucleosome recognition and remodeling. Our findings show how chromatin remodelers couple nucleosome recruitment to regulated DNA translocation, providing a framework for understanding chromatin remodeler mechanisms beyond DNA translocation.

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.
