CASTs have been adapted as genome editing tools for ...CRISPR-associated transposons (CASTs) are Tn7-like elements that have co-opted RNA-guided CRISPR effectors for targeted DNA insertion. CASTs have been adapted as genome editing tools for programmable, site-specific integration. Among them, the type I-F system from e ( CAST) shows uniquely robust activity in human cells, yet its mechanistic basis remains poorly understood. Here, we present structural and biochemical analysis of the CAST transposase TnsAB. Biochemical reconstitution of transposon DNA excision defines key characteristics of the transposition mechanism. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of TnsAB paired-end complexes reveal molecular determinants of transpososome assembly, transposon end recognition and cleavage. We validate these findings using biochemical and assays of structure-based transposase mutants, and provide mechanistic insights into the enhanced activity of a laboratory-evolved TnsAB variant. Together, our studies highlight molecular features underlying the efficiency of natural and engineered type I-F transposases and establish a mechanistic framework for their continued rational optimization.

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.

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.
