Here, we present a 2.21 Å cryo-EM structure of the thermostable light-harvesting 1-reaction center (LH1-RC) complex from . The LH1 ring comprises 16 circularly arranged αβγ-subunits plus one αβ-subunit that surround the RC complex composed of C-, H-, L-, and M-subunits. In a comparative study, the LH1-RC showed numerous electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions both within the LH1 complex itself and between the LH1 and the RC complexes that are absent from the LH1-RC complex of its mesophilic counterpart, . These additional interactions result in a tightly packed LH1-RC architecture with a reduced accessible surface area per volume that enhances the thermal stability of the complex and allows the light reactions of photosynthesis to proceed at hot spring temperatures. Moreover, based on high-resolution structural information combined with spectroscopic evidence, the unique photosynthetic property of the LH1-RC─absorption of energy-poor near-infrared light beyond 1000 nm─can be attributed to strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the C3-acetyl C═O of the LH1 BChl and two LH1 α-Trp residues, structural rigidity of the LH1, and the enhanced exciton coupling of the LH1 BChls of this thermophile.

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.
