The posttranslational ...The human oral pathobiont Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans expresses multiple virulence factors, including the trimeric, extracellular matrix protein adhesin A (EmaA). The posttranslational modification of EmaA is proposed to be dependent on the sugars and enzymes associated with -polysaccharide (O-PS) synthesis of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This modification is important for the structure and function of this adhesin. To determine if the composition of the sugars alters structure and/or function, the prototypic 202-kDa protein was expressed in a non-serotype b, mutant strain. The transformed strain displayed EmaA adhesins similar in appearance to the prototypic adhesin as observed by two-dimensional (2D) electron microscopy of whole-mount negatively stained bacterial preparations. Biochemical analysis indicated that the protein monomers were posttranslationally modified. 3D electron tomographic reconstruction and structure analyses of the functional domain revealed three well-defined subdomains (SI, SII, and SIII) with a linker region between SII and SIII. Structural changes were observed in all three subdomains and the linker region of the adhesins synthesized compared with the known structure. These changes, however, did not affect the ability of the strain to bind collagen or form biofilms. The data suggest that changes in the composition of the glycan moiety alter the 3D structure of the molecule without negatively affecting the function(s) associated with this adhesin. The human oral pathogen A. actinomycetemcomitans is a causative agent of periodontal and several systemic diseases. EmaA is a trimeric autotransporter protein adhesin important for colonization by this pathobiont . This adhesin is modified with sugars associated with the -polysaccharide (O-PS), and the modification is mediated using the enzymes involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. The interaction with collagen is not mediated by the specific binding between the glycans and collagen but is attributed to changes in the final quaternary structure necessary to maintain an active adhesin. In this study, we have determined that the composition of the sugars utilized in the posttranslational modification of this adhesin is exchangeable without compromising functional activities.

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.

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.
