Title: The structures of the peptide transporters SLC15A3 and SLC15A4 reveal the recognition mechanisms for substrate and TASL.

Abstract: The solute carrier family 15 members 3 and 4 (SLC15A3 and SLC15A4) are closely related endolysosomal peptide transporters that transport free histidine and certain dipeptides from the lumen to ...The solute carrier family 15 members 3 and 4 (SLC15A3 and SLC15A4) are closely related endolysosomal peptide transporters that transport free histidine and certain dipeptides from the lumen to cytosol. Besides, SLC15A4 also functions as a scaffold protein for the recruitment of the adapter TASL for interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) activation downstream of innate immune TLR7-9 signaling. However, the molecular basis for the substrate recognition and TASL recruitment by these membrane proteins is not well understood. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of apo SLC15A3 and structures of SLC15A4 in the absence or presence of the substrate, revealing the specific dipeptide recognition mechanism. Each SLC15A3 and SLC15A4 protomer adopts an outward-facing conformation. Furthermore, we also present the cryo-EM structure of a SLC15A4-TASL complex. The N terminal region of TASL forms a helical structure that inserts deeply into the inward-facing cavity of SLC15A4.

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.

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.
