Abstract: β-1,3-glucan synthase is the molecular target for triterpenoid and echinocandin antifungal drugs in clinical. It catalyzes the formation of β-1,3-glucan, which is the primary component of the ...β-1,3-glucan synthase is the molecular target for triterpenoid and echinocandin antifungal drugs in clinical. It catalyzes the formation of β-1,3-glucan, which is the primary component of the fungal cell wall. However, the inhibition mechanism of β-1,3-glucan synthase by triterpenoid drugs remains unclear. In this study, we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-1,3-glucan synthase Fks1 and Fks2 in the apo state, the triterpenoid drug enfumafungin-bound state, and an open state. Structural analysis along with mutagenesis reveals the enfumafungin binding site, and the mechanism of the clinical drug-resistant mutations of the β-1,3-glucan synthases. Remarkably, the enfumafungin attaches on a single transmembrane helix TM5 of the β-1,3-glucan synthases, reorganizes its nearby lipid environment, and stabilizes the enzyme in a specific basal state with intact active site. Moreover, we elucidate that both the basal state and the open state are essential for FKS's glycosyltransferase activity. Our research also shows that Fks2 is highly conserved with Fks1 in terms of structure, activity, and drug inhibition. These findings provide deep insights into the fungal cell wall synthesis, and will facilitate the development of antifungal drugs targeting β-1,3-glucan synthase.

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.
