In bacteria, the master replication initiation protein DnaA unwinds the origin (oriC), allowing a pair of replicative helicases to be loaded around each strand of the DNA duplex. The molecular mechanisms for managing bacterial helicase loading at oriC are unclear. Here we have investigated the role of the essential accessory helicase loader DnaB in Bacillus subtilis. By identifying and characterizing DnaB residues that are critical for its role during DNA replication initiation, we have located three necessary protein-protein interactions that DnaB makes with initiation proteins DnaA, DnaD, and DnaI. Combining single particle cryo-electron microscopy, AlphaFold3 predictions, and two-hybrid interaction analyses, the data suggests that DnaB acts as an interaction hub to orchestrate dual helicase loading at the origin. We propose a model for DNA replication initiation in B. subtilis and related Firmicutes pathogens that employ DnaB-type helicase loaders.

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.
