Subsequently, caspase-8 forms a filamentous structure through the oligomerization of its tandem death effector domain (tDED), resulting in caspase activation and cell death. Although the DED of FADD (DED) is homologous to the tDEDs of caspase-8 (tDED) and both oligomerize to function, the functional form of DED oligomer in extrinsic apoptosis remains unclear. Here, using cryogenic-electron microscopy, we elucidate the structure of DED filaments comprising three helical chains assembled through three types of iterative interactions. Mutations disrupting DED filament formation impair the recruitment of RIPK1 and caspase-8, and abrogate the cell death response, suggesting that DED filamentation represents an important mechanistic step in the initiation of TNF-induced extrinsic apoptosis. Contrary to the belief that the homotypic death domains of RIPK1 and FADD are solely responsible for their interaction, we here show this interaction requires DED filamentation. Furthermore, cFLIP can disrupt DED filaments, uncovering an additional antiapoptotic mechanism of cFLIP beyond its disruption of caspase-8 filament. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that DED filament thermodynamically favors tDED monomer over DED monomer, thus explaining the hierarchy and stoichiometry of FADD/caspase-8 complex assembly. These findings highlight the hitherto unappreciated roles of DED filament formation in extrinsic apoptosis.

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.
