Numerous ...Membrane proteins are fundamental to many crucial cellular processes but removing them from their native environment for structural and functional studies creates experimental challenges. Numerous strategies have been developed to replicate native-like membrane environments in vitro for membrane protein research, however, most studies have focused on systems for either structural or functional characterisation, not both together. Here, we apply an in-vivo split intein strategy to produce stable circularised nanodiscs for combined structural and functional analysis of respiratory complex I, using its highly hydrophobic native ubiquinone-10 substrate and an auxiliary ubiquinol oxidase from Trypanosoma brucei brucei. We successfully reconstituted Paracoccus denitrificans complex I into circularised nanodiscs, determined its cryo-EM structure at 3.1 Å resolution and conducted biophysical and biochemical analyses to demonstrate how the 'oversized' nanodiscs have space to accommodate both enzymes and substrates to sustain steady-state catalysis. Our work establishes a proof-of-principle for using oversized nanodiscs as an integrated platform for structural and functional interrogation of complex membrane proteins in near-native membrane environments.

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.
