Title: Structural basis of directionality control in large serine integrases.
Authors: Heewhan Shin / Ying Pigli / Tania Peña Reyes / James R Fuller / Femi J Olorunniji / Phoebe A Rice /
Abstract: Large serine integrases (LSIs) catalyze unidirectional site-specific DNA recombination reactions, yet those reactions are reversed by the presence of a cognate recombination directionality factor ...Large serine integrases (LSIs) catalyze unidirectional site-specific DNA recombination reactions, yet those reactions are reversed by the presence of a cognate recombination directionality factor (RDF). Mechanistic understanding of directionality control has been hampered by a lack of structural information. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structures of six SPbeta integrase-DNA complexes along the integrative (-RDF) and excisive (+RDF) reaction pathways, at 4.16-7.18Å resolution. Our findings reveal how RDF-mediated repositioning of an integrase subdomain (1) dictates which pairs of DNA sites can be assembled into a synaptic complex to initiate recombination and (2) dictates which product complexes will be conformationally locked, preventing the back reaction. These mechanistic insights provide a conceptual framework for engineering efficient and versatile genome editing tools.

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.

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.
