PubMed AbstractBispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have been developed as anti-cancer drugs that accumulate activated T cells on cancer cells by bridging the antigens present in each cell. Ex3 is a diabody-type BsAb ...Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have been developed as anti-cancer drugs that accumulate activated T cells on cancer cells by bridging the antigens present in each cell. Ex3 is a diabody-type BsAb composed of an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody and an anti-CD3 antibody. In the design of Ex3, the LH-type domain order (Ex3LH) is shown to have more than 100-fold greater anti-cancer activity than the HL-type domain order (Ex3HL). To understand this phenomenon of activity enhancement by domain-order rearrangement, we report here cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of both Ex3HL and Ex3LH in complex with EGFR and CD3. A structural comparison of the HL and LH types reveals that the domain rearrangement leads to drastic structural changes and that the avoidance of steric hindrance by a favorable bridging angle on the cell surface is the fundamental mechanism for this activity enhancement.

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.
