Previous studies have suggested that β- ...As primary WNT receptors, Frizzled (FZD) receptors behave as nonclassical GPCRs; however, their engagement with downstream transducers is largely unknown. Previous studies have suggested that β-arrestin recruitment to FZD receptors depends on its interaction with Dishevelled (DVL) and that this process regulates both canonical and non-canonical pathways. Here, we reveal that FZD6, which mainly mediates non-canonical WNT signalling, directly binds to β-arrestin 1 (βarr1) and report the cryo-EM structure of the FZD6-βarr1 complex, which revealed a unique shallow pocket in FZD6 for βarr1 engagement and identified arrestin-specific motifs that are distinct from those observed in previously reported FZD receptor-transducer complexes. Collectively, our findings establish a direct arrestin recruitment mechanism in FZD receptors that shares key features with arrestin engagement in classical GPCRs, suggesting that the engagement of core GPCR transducers may modulate WNT signalling specificity. These insights position FZD receptors as druggable targets akin to classical GPCRs, opening new avenues for targeting FZD receptors for a wide range of diseases, including cancer.

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.
