Title: A cryo-EM processing pipeline for microtubules using CryoSPARC.
Authors: Daniel Zhang / Hugo Muñoz-Hernández / Pavel Filipcik / Kushal Sejwal / Yixin Xu / Sung Ryul Choi / Michel O Steinmetz / Michal Wieczorek /
Abstract: Microtubules are cytoskeletal filaments that are typically characterized by a discontinuous helical lattice of α/β-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules can also adopt variable lattice architectures ...Microtubules are cytoskeletal filaments that are typically characterized by a discontinuous helical lattice of α/β-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules can also adopt variable lattice architectures both in vitro and in cellular contexts. Pseudo-helical averaging processing strategies have been developed to generate cryo-EM reconstructions of microtubules with and without decorating protein-binding partners, but these pipelines can be difficult to implement for the average user, especially for undecorated filaments. Here, we describe MiCSPARC, a cryo-EM processing pipeline developed around CryoSPARC [Punjani et al. (2017), Nat. Methods, 14, 290-296], which leverages automated particle picking and fast 3D refinement times in CryoSPARC to determine the structures of both decorated and undecorated microtubules. We generate reconstructions of undecorated GDP microtubules, as well as kinesin-1 motor domain-decorated GMPCPP filaments, at resolutions of up to 2.8 Å, demonstrating the robustness of the pipeline. Based on its convenient implementation and its ability to routinely generate high-resolution, seam-corrected microtubule reconstructions, MiCSPARC should provide a valuable tool for understanding microtubule dynamics, microtubule-associated proteins and microtubule-targeting agents.

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.
