Abstract: The genome of the mildly thermophilic hot spring purple sulfur bacterium, (.) , contains a multigene family that encodes a series of α- and β-polypeptides, collectively forming a heterogeneous ...The genome of the mildly thermophilic hot spring purple sulfur bacterium, (.) , contains a multigene family that encodes a series of α- and β-polypeptides, collectively forming a heterogeneous light-harvesting 1 (LH1) complex. The LH1, therefore, offers a unique model for studying an intermediate phenotype between phototrophic thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria, particularly regarding their LH1 transition and moderately enhanced thermal stability. Of the 16 α-polypeptides in the LH1, six α1 bind Ca to connect with β1- or β3-polypeptides in specific Ca-binding sites. Here, we use the purple bacterium strain H2 as a host to express Ca-bound and Ca-free LH1-only complexes composed of α- and β-polypeptides that either contain or lack the calcium-binding motif WxxDxI; purified preparations of each complex were then used to test how Ca affects their thermostability and spectral features. The cryo-EM structures of both complexes were closed circular rings consisting of 14 αβ-polypeptides. The absorption maximum of Ca-bound LH1 (α1/β1 and α1/β3) was at 894 nm, while that of Ca-free (α2/β1) was at 888 nm, indicating that Ca imparts a transition of 6 nm. Crucially for the ecological success of , Ca-bound LH1 complexes were more thermostable than Ca-free complexes, indicating that calcium plays at least two major roles in photosynthesis by -improving photocomplex stability and modifying its spectrum.

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.
