Journal: J Biol Chem / Year: 2024 Title: Milligram-scale assembly and NMR fingerprint of tau fibrils adopting the Alzheimer's disease fold. Authors: Pu Duan / Nadia El Mammeri / Mei Hong / Abstract: In the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, the microtubule-associated protein tau aggregates into paired helical filaments in which each protofilament has a C-shaped conformation. In vitro assembly of ...In the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, the microtubule-associated protein tau aggregates into paired helical filaments in which each protofilament has a C-shaped conformation. In vitro assembly of tau fibrils adopting this fold is highly valuable for both fundamental and applied studies of AD without requiring patient-brain extracted fibrils. To date, reported methods for forming AD-fold tau fibrils have been irreproducible and sensitive to subtle variations in fibrillization conditions. Here, we describe a route to reproducibly assemble tau fibrils adopting the AD fold on the multi-milligram scale. We investigated the fibrillization conditions of two constructs and found that a tau (297-407) construct that contains four AD phospho-mimetic glutamate mutations robustly formed the C-shaped conformation. 2D and 3D correlation solid-state NMR spectra show a single predominant set of chemical shifts, indicating a single molecular conformation. Negative-stain electron microscopy and cryo-EM data confirm that the protofilament formed by 4E-tau (297-407) adopts the C-shaped conformation, which associates into paired, triple, and quadruple helical filaments. In comparison, NMR spectra indicate that a previously reported construct, tau (297-391), forms a mixture of a four-layered dimer structure and the C-shaped structure, whose populations are sensitive to the environmental conditions. The determination of the NMR chemical shifts of the AD-fold tau opens the possibility for future studies of tau fibril conformations and ligand binding by NMR. The quantitative assembly of tau fibrils adopting the AD fold should facilitate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic compounds that target AD tau.
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.

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.
