While well-characterised CODHs from different phylogenetic backgrounds exhibit high bidirectional activity, the enigmatic clade B remains functionally uncharacterised. Here, we present the first structural and biochemical characterisation of a clade B CODH from Ruminococcus flavefaciens (RfCODH). It reveals striking divergence from canonical enzymes. A new anaerobic cryo-EM workflow was developed, carried out entirely under anoxic conditions by manual blotting and plunge freezing. It resulted in a 2.53 Å RfCODH structure. The structure adopts the typical CODH fold, but exhibits blocked gas channels, a compromised proton transfer pathway and disrupted cofactor coordination. This provides a structural rationale for RfCODH's severely attenuated CO oxidation activity (13 mU/mg vs. 900 U/mg for the well-studied ChCODH-II). EPR spectroscopy reveals unique oxidised C-cluster states not previously characterised in CODHs. Mirror tree analysis hints to co-evolution between clade B CODHs and associated ABC transporter substrate-binding proteins, suggesting these enzymes function in metabolism of substrates imported via the ABC transporter module. All findings indicate evolutionary repurposing of the CODH scaffold for alternative physiological functions.

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.
