Despite their importance, the structural basis for ...Type VII secretion systems (T7SS) are protein translocation machines crucial for virulence and bacterial competition in Gram-positive bacteria. Despite their importance, the structural basis for assembly of type VIIb secretion systems (T7SSb), a widely distributed variant in Firmicutes, remains poorly understood. We present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the T7SSb core complex from , revealing how the ubiquitin-like protein YukD, coordinates assembly of the secretion machinery. YukD interacts extensively with the central channel component YukB and facilitates its association with the pseudokinase YukC, forming a stable building block for channel assembly. Time-lapse microscopy and competition assays demonstrate that YukD is essential for proper T7SSb complex formation and contact-dependent bacterial killing. Our findings reveal how bacteria have adapted a ubiquitin-like protein as a structural regulator for assembling a large secretion complex.

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.
