GPR50 plays roles in various physiological processes, including cancer progression, Notch signaling, and insulin, leptin, and glucocorticoid signaling. GPR50 forms a complex with melatonin-receptor type 1A or 1B, and regulates signaling activity of melatonin-receptor type 1A. Although endogenous agonists have not been characterized, GPR50 may have its own signaling activity, which is undefined at present. In this study, in an attempt to characterize the orphan activity of GPR50, we determined the 3.4 Å structure of ligand-free GPR50 using cryo-electron microscopy. We showed that GPR50 exhibits moderate constitutive activity through interaction with Gα. The structure reveals a putative ligand-binding pocket and ligand access channels of GPR50 that differ from those of melatonin receptors. Based on the comparison with the AlphaFold3-predicted active state, we propose an activation mechanism of GPR50. Our findings could serve as a platform for identifying the synthetic or endogenous ligands of GPR50, providing insights into the elusive G-protein-dependent signaling of GPR50.

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.
