Abstract: Spirochetes are a widespread group of bacteria with a distinct morphology. Some spirochetes are important human pathogens that utilize periplasmic flagella to achieve motility and host infection. The ...Spirochetes are a widespread group of bacteria with a distinct morphology. Some spirochetes are important human pathogens that utilize periplasmic flagella to achieve motility and host infection. The motors that drive the rotation of periplasmic flagella have a unique spirochete-specific feature, termed the collar, crucial for the flat-wave morphology and motility of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Here, we deploy cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging to determine high-resolution in-situ structures of the B. burgdorferi flagellar motor. Comparative analysis and molecular modeling of in-situ flagellar motor structures from B. burgdorferi mutants lacking each of the known collar proteins (FlcA, FlcB, FlcC, FlbB, and Bb0236/FlcD) uncover a complex protein network at the base of the collar. Importantly, our data suggest that FlbB forms a novel periplasmic ring around the rotor but also acts as a scaffold supporting collar assembly and subsequent recruitment of stator complexes. The complex protein network based on the FlbB ring effectively bridges the rotor and 16 torque-generating stator complexes in each flagellar motor, thus contributing to the specialized motility and lifestyle of spirochetes in complex environments.

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

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • 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.
