PubMed AbstractThe tardigrade damage suppressor (Dsup) and vertebrate high-mobility group N (HMGN) proteins bind specifically to nucleosomes via a conserved motif whose structure has not been experimentally ...The tardigrade damage suppressor (Dsup) and vertebrate high-mobility group N (HMGN) proteins bind specifically to nucleosomes via a conserved motif whose structure has not been experimentally determined. Here we used cryo-EM to show that both proteins bind to the nucleosome acidic patch via analogous arginine anchors with one molecule bound to each face of the nucleosome. We additionally used the natural promoter-containing 5S rDNA sequence for structural analysis of the nucleosome. These structures of an ancient nucleosome-binding motif suggest that there is an untapped realm of proteins with a related mode of binding to chromatin.

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.
