Title: Structural insight into CsgA amyloid fibril assembly.
Authors: Fan Bu / Derek R Dee / Bin Liu /

However, due to its high ...The discovery of functional amyloids in bacteria dates back several decades, and our understanding of the curli biogenesis system has gradually expanded over time. However, due to its high aggregation propensity and intrinsically disordered nature, CsgA, the main structural component of curli fibrils, has eluded comprehensive structural characterization. Recent advancements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) offer a promising tool to achieve high-resolution structural insights into CsgA fibrils. In this study, we outline an approach to addressing the colloidal instability challenges associated with CsgA, achieved through engineering and electrostatic repulsion. Then, we present the cryo-EM structure of CsgA fibrils at 3.62 Å resolution. This structure provides new insights into the cross-β structure of CsgA. Additionally, our study identifies two distinct spatial arrangements within several CsgA fibrils, a 2-CsgA-fibril pair and a 3-CsgA-fibril bundle, shedding light on the intricate hierarchy of the biofilm extracellular matrix and laying the foundation for precise manipulation of CsgA-derived biomaterials.IMPORTANCEThe visualization of the architecture of CsgA amyloid fibril has been a longstanding research question, for which a high-resolution structure is still unavailable. CsgA serves as a major subunit of curli, the primary component of the extracellular matrix generated by bacteria. The support provided by this extracellular matrix enables bacterial biofilms to resist antibiotic treatment, significantly impacting human health. CsgA has been identified in members of , with pathogenic being the most well-known model system. Our novel insights into the structure of CsgA protofilaments form the basis for drug design targeting diseases associated with biofilms. Additionally, CsgA is widely researched in biomaterials due to its self-assembly characteristics. The resolved spatial arrangements of CsgA amyloids revealed in our study will further enhance the precision design of functional biomaterials. Therefore, our study uniquely contributes to the understanding of CsgA amyloids for both microbiology and material science.

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.
