METHODS: The archives of the Queen Square Brain Bank (1989-2023) were searched for histologically confirmed MSA cases, and those with a clinical diagnosis of FTD/CBS were reviewed for pathological ...METHODS: The archives of the Queen Square Brain Bank (1989-2023) were searched for histologically confirmed MSA cases, and those with a clinical diagnosis of FTD/CBS were reviewed for pathological features of FTLD-synuclein. Phosphotungstic acid (PTA)-precipitated brain homogenates from FTLD-synuclein, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and G51D SNCA synucleinopathy cases were used to seed aggregation in α-syn140*A53T-YFP HEK293T cells. The structure of α-synuclein filaments from an FTLD-synuclein case was determined by cryo-EM.
RESULTS: We identified 283 cases of MSA. Four cases had a clinical diagnosis of CBS, one of which met pathological criteria for FTLD-synuclein. Genetic studies in this case were negative for SNCA ...RESULTS: We identified 283 cases of MSA. Four cases had a clinical diagnosis of CBS, one of which met pathological criteria for FTLD-synuclein. Genetic studies in this case were negative for SNCA variants, and PTA-precipitated brain homogenates seeded abundant cytoplasmic α-synuclein inclusions that were morphologically indistinguishable from those of typical MSA but distinct from those of G51D SNCA and DLB. MSA Type II α-synuclein filaments were identified by cryo-EM.
CONCLUSIONS: FTD/CBS is rarely associated with MSA pathology. The cell seeding characteristics and cryo-EM findings support the classification of FTLD-synuclein as a subtype of MSA, differentiating ...CONCLUSIONS: FTD/CBS is rarely associated with MSA pathology. The cell seeding characteristics and cryo-EM findings support the classification of FTLD-synuclein as a subtype of MSA, differentiating it from genetic synucleinopathies, such as those with SNCA variants G51D and A53E, which have neuropathological features overlapping with MSA and Lewy body diseases. These cases expand the clinicopathological spectrum of MSA and FTLD and have implications for our understanding of selective neuronal vulnerability in MSA and the interpretation of α-synuclein biomarker studies.

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.
