PubMed AbstractAbasic sites are DNA lesions repaired by base excision repair. Cleavage of unrepaired abasic sites in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can lead to chromosomal breakage during DNA replication. How rupture ...Abasic sites are DNA lesions repaired by base excision repair. Cleavage of unrepaired abasic sites in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can lead to chromosomal breakage during DNA replication. How rupture of abasic DNA is prevented remains poorly understood. Here, using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), Xenopus laevis egg extracts, and human cells, we show that RAD51 nucleofilaments specifically recognize and protect abasic sites, which increase RAD51 association rate to DNA. In the absence of BRCA2 or RAD51, abasic sites accumulate as a result of DNA base methylation, oxidation, and deamination, inducing abasic ssDNA gaps that make replicating DNA fibers sensitive to APE1. RAD51 assembled on abasic DNA prevents abasic site cleavage by the MRE11-RAD50 complex, suppressing replication fork breakage triggered by an excess of abasic sites or POLθ polymerase inhibition. Our study highlights the critical role of BRCA2 and RAD51 in safeguarding against unrepaired abasic sites in DNA templates stemming from base alterations, ensuring genomic stability.

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.
