Abstract: β-1,3 Glucan synthase (GS) is essential for fungal cell wall biosynthesis. The GS holoenzyme comprises the glycosyltransferase FKS1 and its regulatory factor Rho1, a small GTPase. However, the ...β-1,3 Glucan synthase (GS) is essential for fungal cell wall biosynthesis. The GS holoenzyme comprises the glycosyltransferase FKS1 and its regulatory factor Rho1, a small GTPase. However, the mechanism by which Rho1 activates FKS1 in a GTP-dependent manner remains unclear. Here, we present two cryo-EM structures of FKS1, apo and in complex with Rho1. FKS1 adopts a cellulose synthase-like conformation. The interaction between Rho1 and FKS1 is enhanced in the presence of GTPγS. Rho1 is positioned within a pocket between the glycosyltransferase domain of FKS1 (GT domain) and the transmembrane helix spanning TM7-15. Comparison of the two structures reveals extensive conformational changes within FKS1. These alterations suggest that Rho1's GTP/GDP cycling may act as a molecular pump, promoting a dynamic transition between the resting and active states of FKS1. Notably, Rho1 triggers FKS1 conformational changes that may push the growing glucan chain into FKS1's transmembrane channel, thereby facilitating β-1,3-glucan elongation.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

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.
