Title: Structural insights into γH2Ax containing nucleosomes.
Authors: Rashmi Panigrahi / Ross Edwards / Md Touhidul Islam / Jun Lu / Ayodeji Kulepa / Tae Hwan Kim / J N Mark Glover /
Abstract: The phosphorylation of the histone variant H2AX on the nucleosome, yielding γH2AX, acts as a 'master control switch', signaling the recruitment of DNA repair factors at DNA double-stranded break ...The phosphorylation of the histone variant H2AX on the nucleosome, yielding γH2AX, acts as a 'master control switch', signaling the recruitment of DNA repair factors at DNA double-stranded break sites. This phosphorylation is recognized by BRCA1 carboxy-terminal (BRCT) domains of specific repair proteins. Using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we provide structural insights into diverse mononucleosome architectures and inter-nucleosomal interactions in the presence of H2AX, mimicking nucleosomes during DNA repair. We resolved three distinct stacked structures where the nucleosomal dyad axes and disk planes align parallel. The inter-nucleosomal interactions involve unique contacts mediated by the H4 N-terminal tail, exposed H2B elements, and DNA. Geometric analysis of stacking constraints, including published structures, reveals a tight distribution of rotational parameters around 0o, with the greatest variability in the translational parameter 'slide'. Our studies indicate that phosphorylation-dependent binding of BRCT domains with γH2AX nucleosomes disrupts stacking. However, no clear densities for BRCT proteins were observed, indicative of dynamic interactions. Molecular simulations replicate the stability of BRCT binding to γH2AX but do not indicate stable docked conformations of BRCT to nucleosome. We propose that BRCT recognition of γH2AX nucleosomes could contribute to chromatin decondensation during DNA damage signaling, exposing the nucleosomal acidic patch for repair factor recognition.

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 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.
