Title: Visualization of a multi-turnover Cas9 after product release.
Authors: Kaitlyn A Kiernan / David W Taylor /
Abstract: While the most widely used CRISPR-Cas enzyme is the Cas9 endonuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (Cas9), it exhibits single-turnover enzyme kinetics which leads to long residence times on product ...While the most widely used CRISPR-Cas enzyme is the Cas9 endonuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (Cas9), it exhibits single-turnover enzyme kinetics which leads to long residence times on product DNA. This blocks access to DNA repair machinery and acts as a major bottleneck during CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. Cas9 can eventually be removed from the product by extrinsic factors, such as translocating polymerases, but the mechanisms contributing to Cas9 dissociation following cleavage remain poorly understood. Here, we employ truncated guide RNAs as a strategy to weaken PAM-distal nucleic acid interactions and promote faster enzyme turnover. Using kinetics-guided cryo-EM, we examine the conformational landscape of a multi-turnover Cas9, including the first detailed snapshots of Cas9 dissociating from product DNA. We discovered that while the PAM-distal product dissociates from Cas9 following cleavage, tight binding of the PAM-proximal product directly inhibits re-binding of new targets. Our work provides direct evidence as to why Cas9 acts as a single-turnover enzyme and will guide future Cas9 engineering efforts.

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.

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.
