Title: Structural mechanism of Borna disease virus 1 RNA polymerase autoinhibition and suramin-mediated inhibition.
Authors: Kankan Yang / Haiqiang Wu / Zuxing Liang / Junwei Zou / Jun Ma /
Abstract: Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a neurotropic pathogen that causes severe, often fatal encephalitis, yet effective treatments remain unavailable. As a nuclear-replicating mononegavirus, BoDV-1 ...Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a neurotropic pathogen that causes severe, often fatal encephalitis, yet effective treatments remain unavailable. As a nuclear-replicating mononegavirus, BoDV-1 employs a minimal L-P polymerase complex. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the BoDV-1 polymerase in L-alone, apo-L-P, and inhibitor-bound L-P states, revealing the most compact L protein characterized among mononegaviruses. While the catalytic core is conserved, the C-terminal domains are degenerate, with the methyltransferase-like (MTase-like) domain lacking canonical functional motifs. We identify an N-terminal autoinhibitory element (AIE) that is positioned to physically block the template entry tunnel, suggesting an autoinhibition mechanism reminiscent of a "molecular plug." Furthermore, we demonstrate that the inhibitor suramin binds in a specific triple-molecule mode, potentially achieving inhibition by sterically occluding RNA access and allosterically restricting the catalytic core. These findings elucidate the architecture and regulation of the BoDV-1 polymerase, providing a structural framework for rational antiviral design.

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.

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.

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.
