The molecular basis for this phenomenon is unknown, given the lack of an NBCn1 atomic structural model. We therefore determined the 3.3 Å cryoEM structure of the human NBCn1 outward facing (OF) conformational state with densities corresponding to the transported ions in the ion coordination site. We further generated NBCn1 inward facing (IF) and intermediate (occluded) structures and characterized the transport cycle and the ion dynamics in the IF and OF states. The results showed that NBCn1 utilizes an elevator-type transport mechanism with a small vertical shift of the ion coordination site between OF and IF conformational states and that the transported ions permeate without significant energy barriers. Functional experiments showed that NBCn1 has an extremely high ion turnover rate (TOR) of ~15,000 s. The unusually high NBCn1 TOR value associated with the small protein structural changes during the OF to IF transitions and the favorable ion permeation energetics provides breast cancer cells with a highly efficient base loading mechanism contributing to their survival advantage.

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.
