Mycobacteriophages show considerable potential as therapies for Mycobacterium infections, but little is known about the structural details of these phages or how they bind to and traverse the complex Mycobacterium cell wall. Here, we report the complete structure and atomic model of phage Bxb1, including the arrangement of immunodominant domains of both the capsid and tail tube subunits, as well as the assembly of the protein subunits in the tail-tip complex. The structure contains protein assemblies with 3-, 5-, 6-, and 12-fold symmetries, which interact to satisfy several symmetry mismatches. Cryoelectron tomography of phage particles bound to M. smegmatis reveals the structural transitions that occur for free phage particles to bind to the cell surface and navigate through the cell wall to enable DNA transfer into the cytoplasm.

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.
