Abstract: Arp2/3 complex is a key nucleator of actin filaments. It requires activation by nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). WISH/DIP1/SPIN90 (WDS) proteins represent a unique class of NPFs that activate the ...Arp2/3 complex is a key nucleator of actin filaments. It requires activation by nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). WISH/DIP1/SPIN90 (WDS) proteins represent a unique class of NPFs that activate the Arp2/3 complex independently of preexisting filaments, promoting linear actin-filament nucleation. In fission yeast, Dip1 binds to the clamp subunits in Arp2/3 complex to induce the short-pitch conformation, where Arp2 moves closer to Arp3 to mimic a filamentous actin dimer. However, how WDS proteins stimulate subunit flattening in Arp subunits, a 'scissor-like' conformational change akin to what is observed in an actin monomer during filament formation, remained unclear. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human SPIN90 bound to activated bovine Arp2/3 complex on an actin filament pointed end. The structures show that SPIN90 dimerizes through a metazoan-specific domain in the middle segment, engaging both the clamp and the Arp3/ARPC3 interface, to drive the activating conformational changes in Arp2/3 complex. Remarkably, a single SPIN90 dimer can also bridge two Arp2/3 complexes, enabling bidirectional actin nucleation and suggesting a mechanism for rapidly assembling complex actin network architectures.

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.
