Title: Structural mechanism of insulin receptor activation by a dimeric aptamer agonist.

In previous work, we identified a DNA aptamer, A62, which partially activates the IR. During engineering aptamers for improved in vivo stability, we discovered that crosslinking two A62 aptamers with linkers of varying lengths led to full phosphorylation of the IR, although activation remained selective to the AKT pathway. Here, to elucidate the mechanism behind this aptamer-induced full activation of the IR, we determined the structure of the IR in complex with a dimeric form of A62 (A62D) linked by an eight-nucleotide connector. We identified three distinct conformations of the IR: arrowhead-shaped, pseudo-arrowhead-shaped and pseudo-gamma-shaped. The pseudo-gamma-shaped conformation closely resembles the structure of a fully active IR bound by a single insulin molecule. In these configurations, only one A62 monomer (A62M) within the A62D dimer binds to the IR dimer. This binding brings the IR monomers into close proximity, promoting intermolecular trans-phosphorylation. Our findings provide valuable structural insights for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting the IR.

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.
