Abstract: The replicative helicase-catalyzed unwinding of the DNA double helix is the initiation of DNA replication. Helicases and primases are functionally related enzymes that have even been expressed as ...The replicative helicase-catalyzed unwinding of the DNA double helix is the initiation of DNA replication. Helicases and primases are functionally related enzymes that have even been expressed as fusion proteins in some organisms and viruses. However, the mechanism underlying DNA unwinding initiation by these helicase-primase fusion enzymes and the functional association between domains have not been elucidated. Herein, we report the cryo-EM structures of mpox virus E5, the founding member of these helicase-primase enzymes, in various enzymatic stages. Notably, E5 forms a head-to-head double hexamer encircling dsDNA, disrupted by the conformational rearrangement of primase domains upon nucleotide incorporation. Five E5-ssDNA-ATP structures further support an ATP cycle-driven non-classical escort model for E5 translocation. Finally, the helicase domain is found to enhance the primase function as a DNA scaffold. Together, our data shed light on the E5-mediated DNA unwinding model including dsDNA loading, DNA melting, ssDNA translocation, and provide a reasonable interpretation for evolutionary preservation of helicase-primase fusion from a functional perspective.

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.
