They produce saturated fatty acids with defined chain length and release them as coenzyme A-conjugates. How they recognize appropriate acyl length to initiate the process of product release is unknown. Here, we resolved two intermediate state structures of FAS, one from each of the two organisms: bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These structures reveal how acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain and nascent fatty acids interact with the substrate-promiscuous malonyl-palmitoyl transferase (MPT) domain that is involved in product cleavage from the enzyme. MPT adopts a transient channel necessary for the accommodation of long-chain fatty acids. This channel is formed by the transient retraction of a conserved arginine side chain involved in malonate binding. These insights uncover structural determinants that enable M. tuberculosis type I FAS to produce very long-chain fatty acids used for evading host immunity in tuberculosis (TB).

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.
