PubMed AbstractDue to the interest in fatty acid synthesis by oilseed crops, we conducted structural studies of the biotin carboxylase (BC) subunit of the plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase ...Due to the interest in fatty acid synthesis by oilseed crops, we conducted structural studies of the biotin carboxylase (BC) subunit of the plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the first committed step in the fatty acid synthesis pathway and is highly regulated. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed that Thlaspi arvense (pennycress) BC forms a symmetric dimer and contains a subpopulation of a dimer-of-dimers. The domain of BC that closes over the catalytic cleft (the B-domain) appears to be dynamic, judging from the b-factors, normal mode analysis of BC structures, and its high susceptibility to acetylation. An increase in the BC concentration decreased the reactivity of the B-domain, however, suggesting structural hindrance. The partial protection of the B-domain was consistent with cross-links that formed between dimers of BC using a cross-linker cleavable in the mass spectrometer. Cross-links guided HADDOCK docking calculations suggesting a dimer of dimers of BC that is asymmetric, staggered, and tilted between dimers, with conservation in the interface. In contrast, a minimal population of a symmetric dimer of dimers with a small, non-conserved interface was observed by cryo-EM. Taken together, our structural models are the first for Brassicaceae family BC homologs and are the first from plants. These models suggest dimer interactions that might contribute to larger oligomers of BC and influence associations with other subunits of the heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

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.
