Title: A GABARAP-PtdIns3K-C1 positive feedback loop at the heart of the phagophore nucleation.

Abstract: In mammalian cells, autophagosomes can reach diameters of over 1000 nm within 30 min after triggering starvation, but how such substantial amounts of membranes can be synthesized remains elusive. ...In mammalian cells, autophagosomes can reach diameters of over 1000 nm within 30 min after triggering starvation, but how such substantial amounts of membranes can be synthesized remains elusive. The phagophore initiation needs the lipid kinase PIK3C3-Complex 1 (PtdIns3K-C1), which produces phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). PtdIns3P recruits WIPI2 that facilitates lipidation of mammalian ATG8 (mATG8) family proteins on phagophores. Here we show that recombinant membrane-coupled GABARAP binds to and potently activates PtdIns3K-C1. By a combination of cryo-electron microscopy, structural mass spectrometry, activity assays and mutagenesis, we show that GABARAP activates PtdIns3K-C1 through two binding sites. We propose that once GABARAP is indirectly recruited by PtdIns3P generated by basal activity of PtdIns3K-C1, a positive feedback loop is formed where PtdIns3K-C1 interacts with GABARAP and becomes activated to produce more PtdIns3P, thereby further stimulating GABARAP lipidation. This mechanism would be central for autophagosome biogenesis, where enlarged membranes need to be rapidly synthesized.

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.
