The cytoplasmic lattices (CPLs) in mammalian oocytes store maternal-expressed proteins and have an essential role in embryogenesis. Impairing multiple CPL members leads to early embryonic arrest, resulting in infertility in mammals. However, the mechanism underlying the assembly and storage of CPLs remains largely unknown. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of a native mouse CPL repeating unit (approximately 4 MDa) at 3.74 Å resolution. This repeating unit exhibits a tripartite architecture comprising a framework, extended linkers and a CPL core. The external framework is built from PADI6 decamers and the subcortical maternal complexes. Two linkers formed by NLRP4F polymerize the frameworks into an extended filament. In the CPL core, the epigenetic regulator UHRF1 is trapped by PADI6, UBE2D and NLRP14 in a compact, autoinhibited conformation that prevents nuclear entry and ubiquitin ligase activity. Moreover, the CPL core stores GTP-bound α/β-tubulin heterodimers and inactive SCF E3-ubiquitin ligase components (FBXW-SKP1 complex) in a poised but restrained state. These features establish CPLs as a dynamic regulatory pool that enables rapid microtubule assembly and tightly controlled ubiquitination during the oocyte-to-embryo transition. Together, this semi-in situ structure illuminates CPL assembly and storage-module organization, and establishes CPLs as specialized proteostasis organelles for maternal regulation in oocytes and early embryonic development.

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.
