Control of PRC2 activity is a critical process in development and disease, yet no inhibitory cofactor has been identified in somatic cells. Here, we show that the alternative isoforms of its accessory subunit AEBP2, namely AEBP2 (short) and AEBP2 (long), perform opposite functions in modulating PRC2 activity. Contrary to prior assumptions that AEBP2 enhances PRC2 function, we find that the widely expressed AEBP2 isoform inhibits it. AEBP2 is expressed throughout embryogenesis and adulthood and inhibits PRC2 DNA binding, histone methyltransferase activity, and binding to target genes. In contrast, AEBP2, expressed during early embryogenesis, promotes PRC2 DNA-binding activity and is essential for de novo repression of target genes during the transition from naïve to primed pluripotency. Mechanistically, through high-resolution cryo-EM and mutagenesis, we show that the recently evolved, negatively charged N-terminal region of AEBP2 inhibits PRC2. We propose a scenario in which the N-terminus of AEBP2 arose in vertebrates to restrain PRC2 activity in somatic cells.

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.
