Abstract: Thymocyte selection is essential for establishing the T cell repertoire, maintaining self-tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Themis, the archetypal member of a metazoan protein family defined by ...Thymocyte selection is essential for establishing the T cell repertoire, maintaining self-tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Themis, the archetypal member of a metazoan protein family defined by CABIT domains, centrally regulates this process by integrating T cell receptor (TCR) signalling. Themis has been proposed to constitutively partner with the multifunctional adaptor Grb2, yet the structural and mechanistic basis of this assembly has remained enigmatic. Here, we use Cryo-EM to reveal how the tandem CABIT domains and proline-rich sequence of Themis cooperatively engulf the C-terminal SH3 domain of Grb2, while the unbound domains of Grb2 remain poised to recruit additional binding partners. Furthermore, we uncover inherent interdomain flexibility in unbound Themis that resolves upon Grb2 binding. Structure-guided mutations abrogate the Themis-Grb2 interaction and fail to regulate the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 after TCR stimulation, recapitulating the phenotype of Themis-deficient cells. Our findings define the Themis-Grb2 complex as a dynamic structural hub in T cell signalling.

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.
