The human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel is essential for maintaining cardiac repolarization and is a critical target in drug safety evaluation due to its role in drug-induced arrhythmias. Inhibition of the hERG channel can lead to severe cardiac issues, including Torsades de Pointes tachycardia. Understanding hERG inhibition mechanisms is essential to avoid these toxicities. Several structural studies have elucidated the interactions between inhibitors and hERG. However, orientation and resolution issues have so far limited detailed insights. Here, we used digitonin to analyze the apo state of hERG, which resolved orientation issues and improved the resolution. We determined the structure of hERG bound to astemizole, showing a clear map in the pore pathway. Using this strategy, we also analyzed the binding modes of E-4031 and pimozide. These insights into inhibitor interactions with hERG may aid safer drug design and enhance cardiac safety.

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.
