However, the complexity of the cellular environment ...The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mediates signal transduction by triggering downstream phosphorylation to regulate cell proliferation. However, the complexity of the cellular environment has limited in situ structural investigations of membrane proteins within their native context. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study integrating protein cage labeling with cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to directly visualize receptor assemblies on the native membrane. Using EGFR as a model system, we demonstrate that the protein cage can associate with multiple EGFR molecules, thereby inducing their oligomerization. The distance between neighboring EGFRs within these assemblies was measured to be 7.1 ± 1.2 nm. Furthermore, we validated the functional relevance of this system by showing that protein cage-induced EGFR assemblies were accompanied by enhanced ligand-independent phosphorylation. In summary, our results establish the feasibility of using protein cage-labeling for the induction and in situ structural analysis of membrane protein oligomerization.

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.
