Title: Molecular mechanism of calcium permeability and magnesium block in NMDA receptors.
Authors: Ruben Steigerwald / Max Epstein / Tsung-Han Chou / Noriko Simorowski / Hiro Furukawa /
Abstract: Hebbian neuroplasticity, which is thought to be a cellular substrate of learning and memory, can occur by means of coincidental detection of presynaptic neurotransmitter release and Ca influx upon ...Hebbian neuroplasticity, which is thought to be a cellular substrate of learning and memory, can occur by means of coincidental detection of presynaptic neurotransmitter release and Ca influx upon postsynaptic depolarization. This is mediated at a molecular level by N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors, which bind glutamate and glycine and facilitate Ca influx upon relief of Mg channel block during membrane depolarization. However, the structural mechanism underlying Ca permeability and Mg blockade in N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors has yet to be fully elucidated. Here we demonstrate using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy that Ca permeation through the narrow constriction of the cation selectivity filter involves partial dehydration, as evidenced by several Ca binding sites. In contrast, Mg binds outside of the selectivity filter through a water network and remains hydrated, thereby acting as a channel blocker. Furthermore, the lipid network around the selectivity filter influences the stability of Mg binding in a voltage-dependent manner. Our study details the transmembrane chemistry essential for initiating neuroplasticity.

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.
