Title: Structural basis of human γ-secretase inhibition by anticancer clinical compounds.

Abstract: Aberrant activation of Notch signaling, mediated by the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), is linked to certain types of cancer. The NICD is released through γ-secretase-mediated cleavage of the ...Aberrant activation of Notch signaling, mediated by the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), is linked to certain types of cancer. The NICD is released through γ-secretase-mediated cleavage of the Notch receptor. Therefore, development of a γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) represents an anticancer strategy. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of human γ-secretase bound individually to five clinically tested GSIs (RO4929097, crenigacestat, BMS906024, nirogacestat and MK-0752) at overall resolutions of 2.4-3.0 Å. Three of the five GSIs are in active anticancer clinical trials, while nirogacestat was recently approved. Each of these GSIs similarly occupies the substrate-binding site of presenilin 1 but shows characteristic differences in detailed recognition pattern. The size and shape of the binding pocket are induced by the bound GSI. Analysis of these structural features suggest strategies for modification of the GSI with improved inhibition potency.

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.
