To thrive in this competitive environment, Bacteroidales use sophisticated weapons to outmatch competitors. Among these, Bacteroidales secreted antimicrobial proteins (BSAPs) represent a novel class of bactericidal pore-forming toxins that are highly specific to their receptor, typically targeting only a single membrane protein or lipopolysaccharide. The molecular determinants conferring this high selectivity remain unknown. In this study, we therefore investigated the model protein BSAP-1 and determined which of its domains is involved in providing receptor specificity. We demonstrate that receptor recognition is entirely driven by the C-terminal domain (CTD) of BSAP-1 using a combination of in vivo competition assays, in vitro protein binding studies, and mutational analysis. Specifically, we show that deletion of the CTD abrogates BSAP-1 bactericidal activity by preventing receptor binding, whereas grafting the CTD to unrelated carrier proteins enables CTD-driven interaction with the BSAP-1 receptor. Combining structural investigation of a BSAP-1-receptor complex with mutational analysis, we unveil that this interaction is driven by electrostatic interactions. Building upon this discovery, we show that BSAPs can be categorized according to the structure of their CTD, suggesting a strong CTD structure-receptor type correlation. In summary, our research demonstrates that BSAP receptor recognition is driven by their CTD and paves the way for future 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.
