Title: Helical reconstruction of amyloids in cryoSPARC.

Cryo-EM establishes direct links between filament morphologies and pathology, although microbial functional amyloids illustrate that this fold can evolve to serve physiological roles, unlike their pathogenic counterparts. Despite the growing popularity of the processing software cryoSPARC for single-particle analyses, RELION remains the dominant software platform for performing helical reconstruction of amyloid structures, highlighting an area for further development. Here, we present comprehensive processing guidelines for helical reconstruction of helical amyloids using cryoSPARC. Through systematic reprocessing and validation of publicly deposited datasets, we demonstrate the current capabilities and identify the key limitations, emphasizing the need for amyloid-specific parameter optimization within cryoSPARC workflows. Our findings showcase a potential for developing unsupervised processing workflows to meet the demanding throughput requirements of time-resolved in vitro studies and large-scale compound-screening initiatives, thereby accelerating therapeutic drug development. Ultimately, our goal is to shift the focus of amyloid cryo-EM from computationally intensive processing challenges towards addressing fundamental biological questions that enhance our capacity for treatment discovery.

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.
