Abstract: Pore-forming proteins comprise a highly diverse group of proteins exemplified by the membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF), cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC), and gasdermin superfamilies, ...Pore-forming proteins comprise a highly diverse group of proteins exemplified by the membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF), cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC), and gasdermin superfamilies, which all form gigantic pores (>150 angstroms). A recently found family of pore-forming toxins, called CDC-like proteins (CDCLs), are wide-spread in gut microbes and are a prevalent means of antibacterial antagonism. However, the structural aspects of how CDCLs assemble a pore remain a mystery. Here, we report the crystal structure of a proteolytically activated CDCL and cryo-electron microscopy structures of a prepore-like intermediate and a transmembrane pore providing detailed snapshots across the entire pore-forming pathway. These studies reveal a sophisticated array of regulatory features to ensure productive pore formation, and, thus, CDCLs straddle the MACPF, CDC, and gasdermin lineages of the giant pore superfamilies.

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.
