Despite its ...The synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), a member of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), is a key target for antiseizure medications and a biomarker for synaptic density imaging. Despite its clinical importance, the mechanisms underlying SV2A ligand binding and modulation remain poorly understood. Here, we report sub-3 Å resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human SV2A in its apo form and in complex with FDA-approved antiseizure medication levetiracetam; PET imaging tracer UCB-J; experimental antiseizure drug padsevonil; and allosteric modulator UCB1244283. We find that levetiracetam and UCB-J induce vestibule occlusion, a hallmark conformational transition of MFS transporters that had not been observed in previous SV2A structures. UCB1244283 binds to an allosteric site and enhances orthosteric ligand engagement by stabilizing the occluded state and slowing ligand dissociation. Notably, padsevonil occupies both orthosteric and allosteric sites, functionally precluding modulation. These findings uncover an allosteric mechanism of regulation and provide a structural framework for the development of modulators targeting SV2A and related MFS transporters.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

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.
