Abstract: Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is vital for human health because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osmoregulatory properties. Its homeostasis is maintained by the Na/Cl-dependent ...Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, is vital for human health because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osmoregulatory properties. Its homeostasis is maintained by the Na/Cl-dependent taurine transporter (TauT). Here, we present five atomic structures of human TauT: apo, taurine bound, and complexes with three taurine-mimetic inhibitors, including β-alanine, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and guanidinoethyl sulfonate (GES). The structures of taurine-, β-alanine-, and GABA-bound human TauT (hTauT) in complex with NaCl adopt an occluded conformation, with ligands binding in a central pocket. With KCl, GES-bound hTauT adopts an inward-facing conformation, with two GES positioned along the substrate translocation pathway in a bipartite manner: one in the deep central cavity and the other precluding structural transition to the occluded state. The radioactive taurine uptake analyses clearly demonstrate the impact of residues on taurine recognition and inhibitor selection. These structures provide insights into the overall architecture, substrate coordination, and inhibitor recognition mechanism of TauT.

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.

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.

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.
