Title: Highly ordered clustering of TNFα and BAFF ligand-receptor-intracellular adaptor complexes on a lipid membrane.
Authors: Chan Seok Lim / Jisun Lee / Ji Won Kim / Jie-Oh Lee /
Abstract: The TNF family plays a critical role in immune regulation. Here, we present high-resolution structures of clusters formed by two TNF receptor family proteins, TNFR1 and BAFFR. Using a lipid monolayer ...The TNF family plays a critical role in immune regulation. Here, we present high-resolution structures of clusters formed by two TNF receptor family proteins, TNFR1 and BAFFR. Using a lipid monolayer method to mimic their membrane-bound state, we observe that the TNFα-TNFR1 complex forms highly ordered clusters of trimers on the lipid membrane. A non-competitive TNFR1 antagonist that inhibits receptor activation disrupted these clusters without blocking ligand binding or receptor trimerization. Furthermore, we find that the BAFF-BAFFR, BAFF-TACI, and BAFF-BCMA receptor-ligand complexes predominantly form pentagonal clusters of trimers on the lipid membrane. Notably, the binding of the intracellular adaptor TRAF3 to the BAFF-BAFFR complex induces a structural transition from a pentagonal to a flat hexagonal cluster. Mutations in BAFF that impair BAFFR activation prevented cluster formation. Our findings demonstrate that ligand binding induces the formation of highly ordered clusters of TNFR1 and BAFFR receptors on the lipid membrane, which is essential for their activation.

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.
