Abstract: The ordered assembly of α-synuclein protein encoded by SNCA into filaments characterizes neurodegenerative synucleinopathies. Lewy body disease (LBD) shows predominantly neuronal and multiple system ...The ordered assembly of α-synuclein protein encoded by SNCA into filaments characterizes neurodegenerative synucleinopathies. Lewy body disease (LBD) shows predominantly neuronal and multiple system atrophy (MSA), predominantly oligodendrocytic α-synuclein pathology affecting subcortical brain structures. Based on cryo-electron microscopy, it was reported that the structures of α-synuclein filaments from LBD differ from MSA and juvenile-onset synucleinopathy (JOS). The rare atypical MSA subtype shows abundant neuronal argyrophilic α-synuclein inclusions in the limbic system. Current concepts indicate that disease entities are characterized by unique protofilament folds. Here we demonstrate that α-synuclein can form a Lewy-MSA hybrid fold, leading to the atypical histopathological form of MSA. Distinct biochemical characteristics of α-synuclein, as demonstrated by protease-sensitivity digestion assay, seed amplification assays (SAAs), and conformational stability assays (CSA), are also linked to cytopathological differences. We expand the current structure-based classification of α-synucleinopathies and propose that cell-specific protein pathologies can be associated with distinct filament folds.

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.

Yorodumi

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
  • This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
  • The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
