Abstract: Alpha-synuclein (αSyn) is an intrinsically disordered protein that accumulates in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Through a high-throughput screen, we recently identified 38 ...Alpha-synuclein (αSyn) is an intrinsically disordered protein that accumulates in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Through a high-throughput screen, we recently identified 38 genes whose knockdown modulates αSyn propagation. Here, we show that, among those, TAX1BP1 regulates how αSyn interacts with lipids, and ADAMTS19 modulates how αSyn phase separates into inclusions, adding to the growing body of evidence implicating those processes in PD. Through RNA sequencing, we identify several genes that are differentially expressed after knockdown of TAX1BP1 or ADAMTS19 and carry an increased frequency of rare risk variants in patients with PD versus healthy controls. Those differentially expressed genes cluster within modules in regions of the brain that develop high degrees of αSyn pathology. We propose a model for the genetic architecture of sporadic PD: increased burden of risk variants across genetic networks dysregulates pathways underlying αSyn homeostasis and leads to pathology and neurodegeneration.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.

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.
