Title: Structure of the transcriptional co-activator SAGA complex, including the histone acetyltransferase module.

Abstract: The Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex, a 1.8 MDa multi-subunit assembly comprising 19 subunits, is required for RNA polymerase II transcription in eukaryotes. The complex consists of four ...The Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex, a 1.8 MDa multi-subunit assembly comprising 19 subunits, is required for RNA polymerase II transcription in eukaryotes. The complex consists of four modules: transcription-associated protein 1 (Tra1), core, deubiquitination (DUB), and histone acetyltransferase (HAT). Although the structures of the Tra1, core, and DUB modules have been determined, the overall architecture of the HAT module remained elusive due to its inherent flexibility. To address this, we conducted cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analyses on SAGA purified from the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum, yielding structures of Tra1 and core modules at 2.6 Å and three of the four HAT subunits at 3.7 Å. The structure of the HAT module was informative about the aspects of histone acetylation and the interface of HAT-core modules, contradicting earlier AlphaFold predictions. Our structure-guided genetic and biochemical analyses confirmed the roles of Ada1 and Spt7 in anchoring the HAT module within the SAGA complex.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.

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.
