Journal: Sci Rep / Year: 2021 Title: The encapsulin from Thermotoga maritima is a flavoprotein with a symmetry matched ferritin-like cargo protein.

Encapsulins are virus-like icosahedral particles comprising a ~ 25-50 nm shell surrounding a specific cargo enzyme. Compartmentalization is thought to create a unique chemical environment to facilitate catalysis and isolate toxic intermediates. Many questions regarding nanocompartment structure-function remain unanswered, including how shell symmetry dictates cargo loading and to what extent the shell facilitates enzymatic activity. Here, we explore these questions using the model Thermotoga maritima nanocompartment known to encapsulate a redox-active ferritin-like protein. Biochemical analysis revealed the encapsulin shell to possess a flavin binding site located at the interface between capsomere subunits, suggesting the shell may play a direct and active role in the function of the encapsulated cargo. Furthermore, we used cryo-EM to show that cargo proteins use a form of symmetry-matching to facilitate encapsulation and define stoichiometry. In the case of the Thermotoga maritima encapsulin, the decameric cargo protein with fivefold symmetry preferentially binds to the pentameric-axis of the icosahedral shell. Taken together, these observations suggest the shell is not simply a passive barrier-it also plays a significant role in the structure and function of the cargo enzyme.

Image processing
Details
Images were saved in counting mode using leginon software, and subsequently processed in RELION.
Particle selection

Initial model was lowpass filtered to 30A for initial reconstruction, and once high-resolution was achieved, a 5A model was used to assure the correct handedness.

Thus, some of these particles are unique orientations of the same encapsulin. Also, the resolution of 4A is for the entire shell with cargo, however, the cargo is estimated to be 7-8A.

The homology model for the encapsulated FLP was created using Biozentrum's SWISS-MODEL, with 5DA5 as the reference structure. This was then rigid body docked into the FLP map using ChimeraX followed by PHENIX. The final model can be found in the supplementary materials of this manuscript at 'FLP-pentamer_model.py'

Feb 9, 2022. New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
Version 3 of the EMDB header file is now the official format.
The previous official version 1.9 will be removed from the archive.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.
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 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.
