We ...The most common rRNA modification is 2'-O-methylation. Here, we determine the landscape of 2'-O-methylation in Leishmania, a parasite that cycles between two different hosts, insect and mammalian. We find two 2'-O-methylated positions that are differentially modified during the parasite's two life stages. The deposition of these modifications is guided by snoRNAs. When we perform cytosine base-editing of the snoRNA responsible for guiding one of the two stage-regulated modifications, Am479, we fail to detect ribosomes lacking this modification, suggesting that it is essential. To better understand the role of the snoRNA and its guided modification, we determine the cryo-EM structures of ribosomes from cells overexpressing the guiding snoRNA and compare them to ribosomes from the parental strain. We do not find structural changes around Am479 or in the small subunit rRNA, but observe a difference in H68 of the large subunit rRNA due to a second base-pairing interaction, suggesting a potential chaperone activity for the snoRNA. Based on these results, translatome and tRNA analysis, we propose a mechanism whereby changes in ribosome structure affect the release of specific tRNAs, which correlate with changes in translation of only a subset of mRNAs.

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.
