In bacteria, initiation begins when mRNA, initiation factors, and a dedicated initiator fMet-tRNA bind the small (30S) ribosomal subunit. Specific binding of fMet-tRNA in the peptidyl (P) site is mediated by the inspection of the fMet moiety by initiation factor IF2 and of three conserved G-C base pairs in the tRNA anticodon stem by the 30S head domain. Tandem A-minor interactions form between 16S ribosomal RNA nucleotides A1339 and G1338 and tRNA base pairs G30-C40 and G29-C41, respectively. Swapping the G30-C40 pair of tRNA with C-G (called tRNA M1) reduces discrimination against the noncanonical start codon CUG in vitro, suggesting crosstalk between the gripping of the anticodon stem and recognition of the start codon. Here, we solved electron cryomicroscopy structures of Escherichia coli 70S initiation complexes containing the fMet-tRNA M1 variant paired to the noncanonical CUG start codon, in the presence or absence of IF2 and the non-hydrolyzable GTP analog GDPCP, alongside structures of 70S initiation complexes containing this tRNA variant paired to the canonical bacterial start codons AUG, GUG, and UUG. We find that the M1 mutation weakens A-minor interactions between tRNA and 16S nucleotides A1339 and G1338, with IF2 strengthening the interaction of G1338 with the tRNA minor groove. These structures suggest how even slight changes to the recognition of the fMet-tRNA anticodon stem by the ribosome can impact the start codon selection.

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.
