Abstract: Tandem interspaced guide RNA (TIGR)-Tas systems are a distinct class of RNA-guided double-stranded DNA nucleases that employ dual-spacer guide RNAs (tigRNAs) for PAM-independent target recognition. A ...Tandem interspaced guide RNA (TIGR)-Tas systems are a distinct class of RNA-guided double-stranded DNA nucleases that employ dual-spacer guide RNAs (tigRNAs) for PAM-independent target recognition. A single mismatch between the tigRNA and target DNA can convert Salicola phage CGphi29 (Sp)TasH from a double-strand nuclease into a nickase in a position-dependent manner, but the molecular basis underlying this functional switch remains unknown. Here, we combined biochemical analyses and cryo-electron microscopy to investigate tigRNA maturation and mismatched target recognition by the Nop domain of SpTasH. We show that the Nop domain is required for pre-tigRNA processing and stabilizes the mature tigRNA through extensive interactions, thereby establishing a cleavage-competent ribonucleoprotein complex. Structural analyses of SpTasH complexes bound to substrates containing single mismatches reveal that a mismatch at the 5'-most position of spacer A is readily accommodated through Nop domain-mediated stabilization of the spacer-target heteroduplex. In contrast, a mismatch proximal to the cleavage site destabilizes the heteroduplex, preventing recruitment of the corresponding HNH domain, thereby converting the complex into a nickase. Together, these findings establish the structural basis for position-dependent mismatch recognition and reveal how Nop domain-mediated tigRNA-target stabilization enables differential responses to mismatches, providing a foundation for engineering TIGR-Tas systems for genome-editing applications.

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.
