The generated force is transmitted through the periplasmic space to protein ...The Ton and Tol motor proteins use the proton gradient at the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria as an energy source. The generated force is transmitted through the periplasmic space to protein components associated with the outer membrane, either to maintain the outer membrane integrity for the Tol system, or to allow essential nutrients to enter the cell for Ton. We have solved the high-resolution structures of the E. coli TonB-ExbB-ExbD and TolA-TolQ-TolR complexes, revealing the inner membrane embedded engine parts of the Ton and Tol systems, and showing how TonB and TolA interact with the ExbBD and TolQR subcomplexes. Structural similarities between the two motor complexes suggest a common mechanism for the opening of the proton channel and the propagation of the proton motive force into movement of the TonB and TolA subunits. Because TonB and TolA bind at preferential ExbB or TolQ subunits, we propose a new mechanism of assembly of TonB and TolA with their respective ExbBD and TolQR subcomplexes and discuss its impact on the mechanism of action for the Ton and Tol systems.

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.
