Despite the research focusing on HCA2, its clinical application has been limited by adverse effects. Therefore, the role of HCA1 as a promising target for the treatment of lipolysis warrants further exploration. As HCAs exhibit high similarity when activated with diverse selective agonists, a conserved yet unique activation mechanism for HCAs remains undisclosed. Herein, we unveil the cryo-electron microscopy structures of the 3,5-DHBA-HCA1-Gi signaling complex, the acifran- and MK6892-bound HCA2-Gi signaling complexes, and the acifran-HCA3-Gi signaling complex. Comparative analysis across HCAs reveals key residues in HCA1 contributing to the stabilization of the ligand-binding pocket. Furthermore, chimeric complexes and mutational analyses identify residues that are pivotal for HCA2 and HCA3 selectivity. Our findings elucidate critical structural insights into the mechanisms of ligand recognition and activation within HCA1 and broaden our comprehension of ligand specificity binding across the HCA family.

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.
