Abstract: Insulin binding induces conformational changes in the insulin receptor (IR) that activate the intracellular kinase domain and the protein kinase B (AKT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) ...Insulin binding induces conformational changes in the insulin receptor (IR) that activate the intracellular kinase domain and the protein kinase B (AKT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, regulating metabolism and proliferation. We reasoned that designed agonists inducing different IR conformational changes might induce different downstream responses. We used de novo protein design to generate binders for individual IR extracellular domains and fused them in different orientations with different conformational flexibility. We obtained a series of synthetic IR agonists that elicit a wide range of receptor autophosphorylation, MAPK activation, trafficking, and proliferation responses. We identified designs more potent than insulin, causing longer-lasting glucose lowering in vivo and retaining activity on disease-causing IR mutants, while largely avoiding the cancer cell proliferation induced by insulin. Our findings shed light on how changes in IR conformation and dynamics translate into downstream signaling, and with further development, our synthetic agonists could have therapeutic utility for metabolic and proliferative diseases.

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.

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.
