However, recent evidence suggests that RTs have been conscripted by cells ...Reverse transcriptases (RTs) have well-established roles in the replication and spread of retroviruses and retrotransposons. However, recent evidence suggests that RTs have been conscripted by cells for diverse roles in antiviral defence. Here we determine structures of a type I-A retron, which explain how RNA, DNA, RT, HNH-nuclease and four molecules of a structure maintenance of chromosome (SMC)-family ATPase assemble into a 364 kDa complex that provides phage defence. We show that phage-encoded nucleases trigger degradation of the retron-associated DNA, leading to activation of the HNH nuclease. The HNH nuclease cleaves tRNA, stalling protein synthesis and arresting viral replication. Taken together, these data reveal diverse and paradoxical roles for RTs in the perpetuation and elimination of genetic parasites.

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.
