Title: Efficient and rapid isolation of native AMPA receptor complexes for cryo-EM.
Authors: Jumi Park / Eric Gouaux /
Abstract: Isolating native ion channels for structural characterization is routinely achieved by extraction from membrane fractions of tissue with prolonged mild detergent treatment. AMPA receptors (AMPARs), ...Isolating native ion channels for structural characterization is routinely achieved by extraction from membrane fractions of tissue with prolonged mild detergent treatment. AMPA receptors (AMPARs), glutamatergic receptors that mediate fast excitatory transmission and synaptic plasticity, are coassembled with diverse auxiliary subunits and transiently-interacting partners to finely regulate processes from trafficking to gating kinetics. Previous studies of the composition and architecture of native AMPARs (nAMPARs) isolated from membrane fractions of rodent brain tissue have revealed many different subunit compositions and non-stochastic assemblies of the auxiliary subunits. However, elucidating the molecular architectures of nAMPARs complexed with less populated or transiently bound proteins has proven challenging. Here, we employ strategies for the rapid solubilization and purification of nAMPARs to increase the likelihood of isolating the greatest range of nAMPARs complexes. By utilizing whole brain tissue and reducing solubilization and purification duration, we purify nAMPARs complexed with a wider variety of auxiliary subunits and binding partners in a sufficient quantity and purity for cryo-electron microscopy studies. We resolve previously unreported subunit compositions and conformations that include ones with a half-splayed ATD layer, as well as complexes with four distinct auxiliary subunit arrangements in the TMD layer.

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.

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.
