The structure of PS II is well studied in cyanobacteria; ...Photosystem II (PS II) is a large membrane-bound protein complex that catalyses light-driven water oxidation in plants and cyanobacteria. The structure of PS II is well studied in cyanobacteria; however, there are very few PS II structures from plants. The currently available plant PS II structures are comparatively low resolution and are frequently incomplete, that is, missing subunits or cofactors. We optimized the procedure for isolating PS II from Arabidopsis thaliana and employed cryo-electron microscopy to generate a high-resolution structure of an intact and oxygen-evolving PS II from Arabidopsis thaliana at 2.44 Å resolution, which to date represents the highest resolution structure of PS II from higher plants. At this resolution, many water molecules within the PS II structure can be detected, including waters around the water-splitting manganese cluster, the nonheme iron, and within the water/proton channels connecting these active sites to the protein exterior, allowing for the first detailed description of the water networks in Arabidopsis thaliana and comparison with the highly resolved cyanobacterial PS II. Our findings further the understanding of design principles of protein-water-cofactor interactions in photosynthetic water splitting, quinone reduction/exchange, and about the role of lipids at the interface between PS II and the light-harvesting proteins.

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.
