Title: Structural basis of PLPP3-mediated lipid phosphate dephosphorylation and its role in melanoma.

Abstract: Lipid phosphates serve as signaling molecules involved in diverse cellular processes such as cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, inflammation, immunity and cancer progression. Phospholipid ...Lipid phosphates serve as signaling molecules involved in diverse cellular processes such as cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, inflammation, immunity and cancer progression. Phospholipid phosphatases (PLPPs) modulate these signals by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of lipid phosphates. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of PLPP3, revealing a tetrameric assembly. PLPP3 contains six transmembrane helices (TMs) and an extracellular domain that contains two extracellular loops. TMs 1-4 create a hydrophobic cleft that holds the tails of a phospholipid while the extracellular domain forms a positively charged pocket to accommodate the polar head group. Two conserved catalytic histidine residues in this pocket coordinate a putative zinc ion previously identified as a PLPP3 inhibitor. Structural mapping of somatic mutations with functional analysis reveals that PLPP3 acts as a tumor suppressor in melanoma. Together, our findings provide critical insights into the structure, substrate engagement, inhibitory mechanism, and cancer-related function of PLPP3.

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.
