In recent years, subtomogram ...Cryo-electron tomography is a powerful tool to visualize heterogeneous samples, with one major application being structural characterization of pleomorphic viruses. In recent years, subtomogram averaging of viral glycoproteins has emerged as a method to directly visualize these crucial proteins on the surface of intact virions. One important target is the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza virus, which densely covers the viral envelope and is responsible for influenza receptor binding and membrane fusion. While subtomogram averages of influenza HA have been reported, their resolutions have been limited due to the low signal-to-noise ratio inherent to cryoET as well as the manual effort required to analyze heterogenous influenza virions. Presented here is a cryoET analysis pipeline that integrates several software packages to analyze tomographic data of influenza virions efficiently and robustly. This protocol describes the structural determination of HA from influenza virions, through steps from initial motion correction to final model building. Following this pipeline, a HA reconstruction at 6.0 Å resolution was obtained from two cryoET datasets collected from the A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (PR8) influenza strain.

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.
