The Kongming system uses deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) to trigger nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) depletion via the Sir2-domain protein KomC. We reveal that dITP binding to the KomB-KomC (KomBC) complex stabilizes KomB dimerization, initiating hierarchical allosteric changes. This drives KomBC filament assembly, which is essential for activating the NADase activity of KomC. Cryo-EM structures of apo-, dITP-bound, NAD-bound and postcatalytic KomBC filaments show the structural landscape of how dITP-induced remodeling reshapes the catalytic pocket of KomC, enabling NAD hydrolysis. Mutagenesis confirms that filament assembly and allostery are critical for catalysis. These findings elucidate the structural basis for the recognition of the nucleotide derivative signaling molecule, the assembly and the filament-mediated allosteric activation mechanism in prokaryotic immunity and a distinct variation of Sir2 NADase activation.

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.
