Journal: J Struct Biol / Year: 2024 Title: Structure of the prenyltransferase in bifunctional copalyl diphosphate synthase from Penicillium fellutanum reveals an open hexamer conformation. Authors: Matthew N Gaynes / Trey A Ronnebaum / Kollin Schultz / Jacque L Faylo / Ronen Marmorstein / David W Christianson / Abstract: Copalyl diphosphate synthase from Penicillium fellutanum (PfCPS) is an assembly-line terpene synthase that contains both prenyltransferase and class II cyclase activities. The prenyltransferase ...Copalyl diphosphate synthase from Penicillium fellutanum (PfCPS) is an assembly-line terpene synthase that contains both prenyltransferase and class II cyclase activities. The prenyltransferase catalyzes processive chain elongation reactions using dimethylallyl diphosphate and three equivalents of isopentenyl diphosphate to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate, which is then utilized as a substrate by the class II cyclase domain to generate copalyl diphosphate. Here, we report the 2.81 Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of the hexameric prenyltransferase of full-length PfCPS, which is surrounded by randomly splayed-out class II cyclase domains connected by disordered polypeptide linkers. The hexamer can be described as a trimer of dimers; surprisingly, one of the three dimer-dimer interfaces is separated to yield an open hexamer conformation, thus breaking the D3 symmetry typically observed in crystal structures of other prenyltransferase hexamers such as wild-type human GGPP synthase (hGGPPS). Interestingly, however, an open hexamer conformation was previously observed in the crystal structure of D188Y hGGPPS, apparently facilitated by hexamer-hexamer packing in the crystal lattice. The cryo-EM structure of the PfCPS prenyltransferase hexamer is the first to reveal that an open conformation can be achieved even in the absence of a point mutation or interaction with another hexamer. Even though PfCPS octamers are not detected, we suggest that the open hexamer conformation represents an intermediate in the hexamer-octamer equilibrium for those prenyltransferases that do exhibit oligomeric heterogeneity.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

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.

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.
