Title: Structure and mechanism of human vesicular polyamine transporter.

Abstract: Polyamines play essential roles in gene expression and modulate neuronal transmission in mammals. Vesicular polyamine transporters (VPAT) from the SLC18 family exploit the transmembrane H gradient to ...Polyamines play essential roles in gene expression and modulate neuronal transmission in mammals. Vesicular polyamine transporters (VPAT) from the SLC18 family exploit the transmembrane H gradient to translocate polyamines into secretory vesicles, enabling the quantal release of polyamine neuromodulators and underpinning learning and memory formation. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of human VPAT in complex with spermine, spermidine, H, or tetrabenazine, elucidating discrete lumen-facing states of the antiporter and pivotal interactions between VPAT and its substrate or inhibitor. Leveraging structure-inspired mutagenesis studies and protein structure prediction, we deduce an unforeseen mechanism whereby the polyamine and H compete for multiple acidic protein residues both directly and indirectly, and rationalize how the antidopaminergic therapeutic tetrabenazine impedes vesicular transport of polyamines. This study unravels the mechanism of an H-coupled polyamine antiporter, reveals mechanistic diversity between VPAT and other SLC18 antiporters, and raises new prospects for combating human disorders of polyamine homeostasis.

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.
