PubMed AbstractEncapsulins are self-assembling protein nanocompartments found in bacteria and archaea that encapsulate cargo enzymes to protect the cell from their toxic reaction products or intermediates. ...Encapsulins are self-assembling protein nanocompartments found in bacteria and archaea that encapsulate cargo enzymes to protect the cell from their toxic reaction products or intermediates. Developments in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data processing strategies have enabled encapsulins and their cargo proteins to be investigated together in greater detail. In this study, we present the single particle cryo-EM structure of the Rhodospirillum rubrum encapsulin in both the presence and absence of its partner encapsulated ferritin (EncFtn). Single particle icosahedral reconstructions of empty and loaded encapsulins revealed a higher degree of conformational flexibility at the five-fold pore in the cargo loaded encapsulin. We applied a new non-point group averaging workflow to analyze the encapsulated ferritins within the encapsulin nanocompartment, to produce the first fully refined in situ atomic model of the EncFtn at 2.8 Å resolution. Masked 2D classification and particle subtraction demonstrate that cargo loading is heterogeneous in this recombinant complex, with the encapsulin able to house up to five of the decameric EncFtn complexes. Our data provides new insights into the dynamics and cargo arrangement in encapsulins and demonstrates an adaptable workflow for high resolution reconstruction of encapsulin cargoes.

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.
