IgM is the evolutionarily oldest pIg and functions both in circulation and in the mucosa. pIgM typically comprises between four and six IgM monomers and up to one joining chain (JC), which in mammals facilitates pIg assembly and promotes delivery to mucosal secretions. Bony fish (teleosts) lack JC and assemble tetrameric IgM whereas humans can express JC-containing pentamers and JC-free hexamers. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of two JC-free chimeric IgM, comprising bony fish and human sequences, and the structure of human hexameric IgM. Chimeric IgM structures adopted unique pentameric geometry distinct from both human and fish pIgM whereas the human hexameric IgM structure adopted hexagonal geometry similar to JC-containing pentameric IgM, albeit with structural differences in center of the molecule. Together results provide new insights on how IgM heavy chain motifs contribute to JC-free pIgM assembly and reveal plasticity of this process, which can be manipulated to create pIg structures not observed in nature. Moreover, we found that antigen-targeting chimeric IgM could neutralize toxin cytotoxicity, indicating potential to engineer uniquely structured pIgs to prevent or treat disease.

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.
