Abstract: Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease characterized by amyloid fibril deposition in vital organs, leading to cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Early diagnosis of ATTR-CM remains ...Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease characterized by amyloid fibril deposition in vital organs, leading to cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Early diagnosis of ATTR-CM remains challenging due to lack of sensitive, rapid screening methods. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of TTR amyloid fibrils extracted from minimally invasive abdominal fat-pad biopsies of three living Ala97Ser ATTR-CM patients. The adipose-derived fibril structures closely mirror those from diseased post-mortem cardiac tissues, validating the use of fat-pad biopsies to investigate the atomic structure of TTR fibrils in living patients. Furthermore, we determined cryo-EM structures of TTR fibrils in complex with two amyloid-binding dyes, Congo Red (CR) and Thioflavin S (ThS), which are widely used in the clinical diagnosis of ATTR-CM. Both CR and ThS predominantly bind to a specific surface arginine site on the TTR fibril via electrostatic interactions. These findings provide structural insights into how small-molecule dyes bind TTR fibrils, offering a molecular foundation for the rational design of TTR-specific tracers to enable early and accurate diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis.

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.
