It relies on specialised single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding proteins (SSBs) to stabilise ssDNA intermediates by unknown mechanisms. Here, we present the structural and biochemical characterisation of P12, an SSB from bacteriophage PRD1. High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy reveals that P12 forms a unique, cooperative filament along ssDNA. Each protomer binds the phosphate backbone of 6 nucleotides in a sequence-independent manner, protecting ssDNA from nuclease degradation. Filament formation is driven by an intrinsically disordered C-terminal tail, facilitating cooperative binding. We identify residues essential for ssDNA interaction and link the ssDNA-binding ability of P12 to toxicity in host cells. Bioinformatic analyses place the P12 fold as a distinct branch within the OB-like fold family. This work offers new insights into protein-primed DNA replication and lays a foundation for biotechnological applications.

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.
