Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of a native mammalian class II OR, mouse Olfr412, a human OR1D2 ortholog, bound to the odorant methyl--cinnamate and the G protein. The odorant-binding pocket of Olfr412 is located deeper within the transmembrane domain than that of the class I OR OR51E2 and is largely composed of poorly conserved hydrophobic residues, providing a structural basis for broad odorant recognition in class II ORs. Structural and molecular dynamics analyses suggest that the conserved Y plays a key role in odorant recognition and activation, functionally paralleling R in class I ORs and is further stabilized by intramolecular interaction with the conserved ECL2 residue E. Together, our findings uncover structural mechanisms underlying odorant recognition and activation in class II ORs.

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.
