Title: Choreography of rapid actin filament disassembly by coronin, cofilin, and AIP1.
Authors: Wout Oosterheert / Micaela Boiero Sanders / Oliver Hofnagel / Peter Bieling / Stefan Raunser /
Abstract: Rapid remodeling of actin filament (F-actin) networks is essential for the movement and morphogenesis of eukaryotic cells. The conserved actin-binding proteins coronin, cofilin, and actin-interacting ...Rapid remodeling of actin filament (F-actin) networks is essential for the movement and morphogenesis of eukaryotic cells. The conserved actin-binding proteins coronin, cofilin, and actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) act in synergy to promote rapid F-actin network disassembly, but the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we uncover the concerted molecular actions of coronin, cofilin, and AIP1 that lead to actin filament aging and severing. We find that the cooperative binding of coronin allosterically promotes inorganic phosphate release from F-actin and induces filament undertwisting, thereby priming the filament for cofilin binding. Cofilin then displaces coronin from the filament via a strand-restricted cooperative binding mechanism. The resulting cofilactin serves as a high-affinity platform for AIP1, which induces severing by acting as a clamp that disrupts inter-subunit filament contacts. In this "molecular squeezing" mechanism, AIP1 and not cofilin is responsible for filament severing. Our work redefines the role of key disassembly factors in actin dynamics.

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.

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.
