Title: Unveiling Structural Heterogeneity and Evolutionary Adaptations of Heteromultimeric Bacterioferritin Nanocages.

Abstract: Iron-storage bacterioferritins (Bfrs), existing in either homo- or hetero-multimeric form, play a crucial role in iron homeostasis. While the structure and function of homo-multimeric ...Iron-storage bacterioferritins (Bfrs), existing in either homo- or hetero-multimeric form, play a crucial role in iron homeostasis. While the structure and function of homo-multimeric bacterioferritins (homo-Bfrs) have been extensively studied, little is known about the assembly, distinctive characteristics, or evolutionary adaptations of hetero-multimeric bacterioferritins (hetero-Bfrs). Here, the cryo-EM structure and functional characterization of a bacterial hetero-Bfr (SoBfr12) are reported. Compared to homo-Bfrs, although SoBfr12 exhibits a conserved spherical cage-like dodecahedron, its pores through which ions traverse exhibit substantially increased diversity. Importantly, the heterogeneity has significant impacts on sites for ion entry, iron oxidation, and reduction. Moreover, evolutionary analyses reveal that hetero-Bfrs may represent a new class within the Bfr subfamily, consisting of two different types that may have evolved from homo-Bfr through tandem duplication and directly from ferritin (Ftn) via dispersed duplication, respectively. These results reveal remarkable structural and functional features of a hetero-Bfr, enabling the rational design of nanocages for enhanced iron-storing efficiency and for other specific purposes, such as drug delivery vehicles and nanozymes.

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.
