Abstract: The chaperone/protease HtrA from the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi (BbHtrA) functions in the maturation of the periplasmic protein BB0323 involved in pathogen infectivity and in the ...The chaperone/protease HtrA from the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi (BbHtrA) functions in the maturation of the periplasmic protein BB0323 involved in pathogen infectivity and in the degradation of several other key host and spirochete proteins. Hence, BbHtrA is considered an anti-borrelial drug target candidate. BbHtrA contains a N-terminal serine protease domain followed by two PDZ domains (PDZ1-2). Here, we report a 3.4 Å resolution single particle cryo-EM reconstruction of hexameric BbHtrA whose active site serine was replaced by an alanine, and the 2.0 Å and 1.5 Å resolution crystal structures of the recombinant protease catalytic domain and PDZ1-2 fragment, respectively. The BbHtrA cryo-EM structure forms an asymmetric dimer of trimers unlike the symmetric oligomers of other HtrA family members. The different conformations of the six linkers between the protease domains and their respective PDZ1-2 break the symmetry, nevertheless, pairs of PDZ2 domains mediate trimer-trimer interactions through identical interfaces unique to BbHtrA. Features associated with the cryo-EM electron potential map at each protease active site were modeled as a nine-residue peptide of unknown sequence, which could originate from the expression host organism. The crystal structures recapitulate at higher resolution trimer interactions via the catalytic domains and trimer-trimer association via PDZ2-PDZ2 interactions. The serine protease oxyanion hole that stabilizes the substrate transition state is malformed in the crystal structure and fully formed in the peptide-bound BbHtrA cryo-EM structure, suggesting a regulatory mechanism intended to avoid undesired cleavage.

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.
