Title: The human primosome requires replication protein A when copying DNA with inverted repeats.
Authors: Andrey G Baranovskiy / Lucia M Morstadt / Eduardo E Romero / Nigar D Babayeva / Tahir H Tahirov /
Abstract: The human primosome, a four-subunit complex of primase and DNA polymerase alpha (Polα), initiates DNA synthesis on both chromosome strands by generating chimeric RNA-DNA primers for loading DNA ...The human primosome, a four-subunit complex of primase and DNA polymerase alpha (Polα), initiates DNA synthesis on both chromosome strands by generating chimeric RNA-DNA primers for loading DNA polymerases delta and epsilon (Polϵ). Replication protein A (RPA) tightly binds to single-stranded DNA strands, protecting them from nucleolytic digestion and unauthorized transactions. We report here that RPA plays a critical role for the human primosome during DNA synthesis across inverted repeats prone to hairpin formation. On other alternatively structured DNA, forming a G-quadruplex, RPA does not assist primosome. A stimulatory effect of RPA on DNA synthesis across hairpins was also observed for the catalytic domain of Polα but not of Polϵ. The winged helix-turn-helix domain of RPA is essential for an efficient hairpin bypass and increases RPA-Polα cooperativity on the primed DNA template. Cryo-EM studies revealed that this domain is mainly responsible for the interaction between RPA and Polα. The flexible mode of RPA-Polα interaction during DNA synthesis implies the mechanism of template handover between them when the hairpin formation should be avoided. This work provides insight into a cooperative action of RPA and primosome on DNA, which is critical for DNA synthesis across inverted repeats.

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.

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.
