Abstract: Motility promotes the complex life cycle and infectious capabilities of Vibrio cholerae and is driven by rotation of a single polar flagellum. The flagellar filament comprises four flagellin proteins ...Motility promotes the complex life cycle and infectious capabilities of Vibrio cholerae and is driven by rotation of a single polar flagellum. The flagellar filament comprises four flagellin proteins (FlaA-D) and is covered by a membranous sheath continuous with the outer membrane. Here we combine in situ cryo-electron microscopy single-particle analysis, fluorescence microscopy and molecular genetics to determine 2.92-3.43 Å structures of the sheathed flagellar filament from intact bacteria. Our data reveal the spatial arrangement of FlaA-D, showing that FlaA localizes at the cell pole and functions as a template for filament assembly involving multiple flagellins. Unlike unsheathed flagellar filaments, the sheathed filament from V. cholerae possesses a highly conserved core but a smooth, hydrophilic surface adjacent to the membranous sheath. A tiny conformational change at the single flagellin level results in a supercoiled filament and curved membranous sheath, supporting a model wherein the filament rotates separately from the sheath, enabling the distinct motility of V. cholerae.

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.
