Despite its biological importance, structural and mechanistic insights into these enzymes have remained elusive. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of Bacillus subtilis TrhO-tRNA complex. Combined with biochemical analyses, our results reveal that TrhO functions without any metal or organic cofactor, unlike most other oxygenases. We propose that the conserved C179 reacts with dioxygen to form a thiohydroperoxy intermediate, which is cleaved to produce 5-hydroxyuridine and a sulfenic acid at C179. The oxidized cysteine subsequently forms a disulfide bond with the adjacent C185, protecting the catalytic cysteine from irreversible overoxidation. These findings broaden our understanding of cofactor-independent dioxygen use in aromatic ring hydroxylation.

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.
