Abstract: Insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) is a highly conserved pathway essential for physiological regulation from yeast to mammals. In Drosophila melanogaster, a single insulin-like receptor (dmIR) interacts ...Insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) is a highly conserved pathway essential for physiological regulation from yeast to mammals. In Drosophila melanogaster, a single insulin-like receptor (dmIR) interacts with various insulin-like peptides (DILPs), leading to diverse signaling and functional outcomes. However, the mechanisms by which different DILPs result in varied receptor activation and biological responses remain unclear. Here, we determine the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of dmIR in complex with three DILPs: DILP1, DILP2, and DILP5. Our structural analyses reveal that each DILP induces distinct conformations of dmIR: the dmIR/DILP5 complex adopts the Ƭ-shaped asymmetric conformation with three bound DILP5 molecules; the dmIR/DILP2 complex displays the Γ-shaped asymmetric conformation with a single bound DILP2 molecule; and the dmIR/DILP1 complex shows both a Γ-shaped asymmetric conformation and a symmetric conformation that resembles a T-shape with a splayed stem. Functional assays demonstrate that the efficacy of DILP-mediated dmIR activation differs, with DILP5 inducing higher levels of receptor autophosphorylation, followed by DILP2 and DILP1. Together, these findings suggest that the distinct interactions between dmIR and DILPs dictate specific patterns of receptor activation.

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.
