Chemokine receptors tend to assemble, and this assembly plays a critical role in regulating their functions. However, structural information regarding the organization of these receptors remains limited. Here, we present the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a CXCR4 homo-tetramer. In this tetramer, each protomer interfaces with adjacent protomers via TM1/2 and TM5/6/7, aligning at a 90° angle to assemble into a C4 rotationally symmetric arrangement. Each protomer allosterically regulates the others, with Q272 in the ECL3 loop interacting with K38 (TM1) and V99 (TM2) of the adjacent protomer, resulting in a mutually inhibitory configuration. These findings reveal an allosteric and antagonistic mechanism that prevents excessive activation, providing a structural framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms driving CXCR4 self-assembly and offering insights that could inspire further therapeutic strategies.

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.
