Whilst its yeast homolog, Neo1, is essential for cell survival, little is known about mammalian ATP9A. We present cryo-EM structures of human monomeric ATP9A at a resolution reaching 2.2 Å, in the outward-facing E2P state. Two distinguishable conformations were obtained from a single sample, one with its outward gate open and the other in its closed form. Unlike canonical gating observed for most P-type ATPases, which is driven by the movement of transmembrane (TM) helices 1 and 2 linked to the A domain, outward gating in ATP9A is achieved by the movement of TM6-10 helices, likely initiated by the unwinding of TM6. As a result, the volume of the phospholipid binding cavity in the open state surpasses that of other flippases, which could allow binding of phospholipids with larger hydrophilic headgroups than that of phosphatidylserine. ATP9A shows an ATPase activity that is significantly increased by the addition of phospholipids that retain the overall negative charge, including phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, and its phosphorylated species, compared with other electroneutral phospholipids. The observation of spontaneous binding of phosphorylated species of phosphatidylinositol in molecular simulation reinforces this fact. Our data provide mechanistic rationales for ATP9A gating, achieved by the rearrangement of the second half of the TM helices. Since TM4-TM10 is anchored by the CDC50 protein subunit in other flippases, the here-observed outward gating mechanism is unique to P4B-type flippases, which function as a monomer.

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.
