These ...General and regulatory proteolysis in bacteria is executed by a set of ATP-dependent proteases composed of hexameric ring-forming AAA+ proteins and associated peptidase barrels (e.g., ClpP). These AAA+ proteases play crucial roles in stress protection and bacterial virulence. Here, we provide the first biochemical characterization of the potential drug target ClpE-ClpP from Enterococcus faecalis. We show that ClpE-ClpP forms an autonomous and efficient protease, which degrades misfolded and aggregated model substrates and the stress-responsive transcriptional regulator CtsR. This qualifies ClpE-ClpP as a central component of bacterial protein quality control systems and explains formerly reported stress-sensitive phenotypes of clpE mutants. ClpE substrate specificity is mediated by its N-terminal domain, which is crucial for targeting misfolded and aggregated proteins. ClpE assembles into a tetrahedral structure formed by four hexamers that interact via their coiled-coil M-domains. ClpP binding to ClpE tetrahedrons triggers the formation of large clusters of proteolytic complexes in vitro and in vivo. Such assembly in principle can allow for spatially confined proteolysis, separating the proteolytic activity of ClpE-ClpP complexes from other cellular processes. Indeed, ClpE M-domain mutants, which are deficient in cluster formation, exhibit increased toxicity in vivo.

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.
