Many short prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos) lack nuclease ...Argonaute proteins provide innate immunity in all domains of life through guide-dependent recognition and cleavage of invader nucleic acids. Many short prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos) lack nuclease activity and are instead co-encoded with tentative nuclease effectors, but their activation mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we characterize SPARHA systems (short prokaryotic argonautes, HNH-associated), containing HNH nuclease effectors. RNA-guided target DNA recognition by pAgo induces formation of SPARHA filaments with a chain of double nuclease sites formed by HNH tetramers, leading to indiscriminate collateral degradation of DNA and protecting bacterial population from invaders. We show that the assembly of filaments proceeds via a universal activation pathway involving a cascade of target-induced conformational changes in SPARHA, conserved in other short pAgo systems containing various types of effectors. pAgos and associated effectors act as modular defense systems that translate recognition of specific DNA into immune response through assembly of supramolecular complexes, deleterious for invaders and potentially useful for biotechnology.

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.
