Title: Structural basis of nonmuscle myosin-2 autoinhibition mechanisms.
Authors: Sarah M Heissler / Giovanna Grandinetti / James R Sellers / Krishna Chinthalapudi /
Abstract: Nonmuscle myosin-2 (NM2) is a fundamental actin-based mechanochemical ATPase that regulates cellular architecture, migration, adhesion, and force generation across diverse biological contexts. NM2 ...Nonmuscle myosin-2 (NM2) is a fundamental actin-based mechanochemical ATPase that regulates cellular architecture, migration, adhesion, and force generation across diverse biological contexts. NM2 function is tightly regulated by a structural transition between an autoinhibited monomeric (10S) conformation in which ATPase activity, actin binding, and filament assembly are coordinately suppressed and an enzymatically active, filamentous conformation. The autoinhibited conformation is critical for the spatial and temporal control of contractility in nonmuscle cells, yet structural insights into the 10S conformation remain largely elusive. Here, we report a ~53-nm elongated full-length structure of NM2B in the 10S conformation and four distinct cryo-EM structures representing the conformational landscape within the human NM2B 10S state. These structures reveal a tri-segmented tail fold that sequesters interfaces essential for actin binding and filament assembly. The asymmetric arrangement of myosin heavy and light chains provides a mechanistic foundation for understanding how regulatory post-translational modifications and disease-associated mutations shift NM2 conformational equilibria and may enable the development of structure-based interventions for cytoskeletal diseases including hearing loss, neurodegeneration, and cancer.

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.
