They form highly stable and environmentally stress-resistant amyloid structures. SSP amyloids are gaining significant attention for fabricating sustainable biomaterials in recent times; however, the requirement for optimized fibrillation conditions limits their practical use. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism of SSP amyloidogenesis, biochemical conditions, and the biophysical properties of the resultant amyloid fibrils becomes crucial. This study investigates the amyloidogenic properties of Cruciferin-3 (CRU-3), a major SSP from Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on the 12-residue representative peptide, L-Y (LY12), computationally predicted to be amyloidogenic. LY12 forms β-sheet rich amyloid fibrils in a nucleation-dependent manner in vitro with the potential to seed self-aggregation. The peptide fibrillation was found to be pH-dependent and showed a moderate resistance to Proteinase-K treatment. Molecular-level insight into the structure of LY12 fibrils was obtained using cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at a high resolution of 2.86 Å. The structure of LY12 fibrils revealed a C2 symmetrical, left-handed, twisted core comprising three non-equivalent peptide stacks. This unique cross β-sheet dense core, stabilized by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and surrounded by low-density peptide layers, distinguishes them from pathological amyloids. This study explores the conditions for LY12 amyloid formation and deciphers their biophysical attributes and structural details, suggesting the potential physiological roles and biomaterial applications of CRU-3 amyloids.

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.
