PubMed AbstractAMPylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) whereby adenosine monophosphate (AMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is transferred onto protein hydroxyl groups of serine, threonine, or ...AMPylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) whereby adenosine monophosphate (AMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is transferred onto protein hydroxyl groups of serine, threonine, or tyrosine. Recently, an actin-dependent AMPylase namely LnaB from the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila was found to AMPylate phosphate groups of phosphoribosylated ubiquitin and Src family kinases. LnaB represents an evolutionarily distinct family of AMPylases with conserved active site Ser-His-Glu residues. Here, we capture the structure of the LnaB-actin complex in a putative intermediate state via single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and find that the catalytic histidine of LnaB is covalently attached to AMP through a phosphoramidate linkage at the Nδ1 atom. This observation provides direct structural evidence of histidine AMPylation as a PTM and implies the possibility of covalent catalysis in LnaB-mediated AMPylation, a mechanism distinct from known AMPylases. Subsequent biochemical studies confirm the observed AMP binding site and provide additional insights into the catalytic properties of LnaB. Together, our work highlights the power of cryo-EM in capturing labile PTMs and transient species during enzymatic reactions, while opening new avenues of mechanistic investigation into the LnaB family.

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.
