Abstract: Cullin-RING Ligase 4 Cereblon (CRL4) (CRBN) E3 ligase modulatory drugs (CELMoDs) make up a successful class of compounds targeting neosubstrates for proteasome-dependent degradation. Early ...Cullin-RING Ligase 4 Cereblon (CRL4) (CRBN) E3 ligase modulatory drugs (CELMoDs) make up a successful class of compounds targeting neosubstrates for proteasome-dependent degradation. Early immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) target Ikaros and Aiolos degradation. In addition, there are ongoing clinical trials targeting the degradation of biologically relevant proteins such as GSPT1, CK1α, and Helios with CRBN-based molecular glues. To date, most advanced preclinical and clinical CRBN-based molecular glues recruit their neosubstrates through canonical G-motifs, secondary protein features that are structurally similar but have significantly different amino acid sequence identities. Analogous to the development of kinase inhibitors, optimizing both neosubstrate recruitment and degradation selectivity is important to minimize potential off-target activity. Here, we describe a computational structure-based approach to analyze and predict putative ligand interactions important in the neosubstrate ternary complex. This approach provides valuable insights for enhanced designs toward the development of more selective and efficacious CRBN-based molecular glues.

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.

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.
