Title: Intraflagellar transport trains can switch rails and move along multiple microtubules in intact primary cilia.

Abstract: Structural homeostasis and proper distributions of signaling molecules in cilia require a constant flow of cargoes carried by intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains in both anterograde and retrograde ...Structural homeostasis and proper distributions of signaling molecules in cilia require a constant flow of cargoes carried by intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains in both anterograde and retrograde directions within the thin, long ciliary shafts. In the motile cilium framework, the nine microtubule doublets of the same length serve as the transportation rails, and a preferential association to the two subtubules of the microtubule doublets prevents collisions among the IFT trains that move in opposite directions. However, this mechanism is incompatible with the primary cilia structure, where most of the nine microtubule doublets terminate in the ciliary shafts-only several of them reach the ciliary tip and only in a singlet form. Here, we demonstrate that anterograde and retrograde trains in primary cilia interact with both subtubules of the microtubule doublets without apparent preference. They can switch microtubules, and they may simultaneously interact with multiple microtubules to facilitate their movement. This architecture makes the collisions inevitable, and live-cell recordings reveal that anterograde and retrograde trains tend to pause when they come into direct contact. We also find that the velocity of the train's movement often changes after the pause. Thus, the motion behaviors of IFT trains in primary cilia are distinctive from those of motile cilia, and our data offer an essential foundation for understanding proper signaling molecule distributions in primary cilia.

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.
