Journal: Mol Cell Biol / Year: 2018 Title: Molecular Architecture of the Essential Yeast Histone Acetyltransferase Complex NuA4 Redefines Its Multimodularity. Authors: Dheva Setiaputra / Salar Ahmad / Udit Dalwadi / Anne-Lise Steunou / Shan Lu / James D Ross / Meng-Qiu Dong / Jacques Côté / Calvin K Yip / Abstract: Conserved from yeast to humans, the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase is a large multisubunit complex essential for cell viability through the regulation of gene expression, genome maintenance, ...Conserved from yeast to humans, the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase is a large multisubunit complex essential for cell viability through the regulation of gene expression, genome maintenance, metabolism, and cell fate during development and stress. How the different NuA4 subunits work in concert with one another to perform these diverse functions remains unclear, and addressing this central question requires a comprehensive understanding of NuA4's molecular architecture and subunit organization. We have determined the structure of fully assembled native yeast NuA4 by single-particle electron microscopy. Our data revealed that NuA4 adopts a trilobal overall architecture, with each of the three lobes constituted by one or two functional modules. By performing cross-linking coupled to mass spectrometry analysis and protein interaction studies, we further mapped novel intermolecular interfaces within NuA4. Finally, we combined these new data with other known structural information of NuA4 subunits and subassemblies to construct a multiscale model to illustrate how the different NuA4 subunits and modules are spatially arranged. This model shows that the multiple chromatin reader domains are clustered together around the catalytic core, suggesting that NuA4's multimodular architecture enables it to engage in multivalent interactions with its nucleosome substrate.

Feb 9, 2022. New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
Version 3 of the EMDB header file is now the official format.
The previous official version 1.9 will be removed from the archive.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.
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 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.
