ASFV DNA polymerase (DNAPol) is responsible for genome ...African swine fever virus (ASFV) is one of the most important causative agents of animal diseases and can cause highly fatal diseases in swine. ASFV DNA polymerase (DNAPol) is responsible for genome replication and highly conserved in all viral genotypes showing an ideal target for drug development. Here, we systematically determined the structures of ASFV DNAPol in apo, replicating and editing states. Structural analysis revealed that ASFV DNAPol had a classical right-handed structure and showed the highest similarity to the structure of human polymerase delta. Intriguingly, ASFV DNAPol has a much longer fingers subdomain, and the thumb and palm subdomain form a unique interaction that has never been seen. Mutagenesis work revealed that the loss of this unique interaction decreased the enzymatic activity. We also found that the β-hairpin of ASFV DNAPol is located below the template strand in the editing state, which is different from the editing structures of other known B family DNAPols with the β-hairpin above the template strand. It suggests that B family DNAPols have evolved two ways to facilitate the dsDNA unwinding during the transition from replicating into editing state. These findings figured out the working mechanism of ASFV DNAPol and will provide a critical structural basis for the development of antiviral drugs.

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.
