Title: Cryo-EM structures of UBA6 reveal mechanisms of E1-E2 specificity and dual FAT10/ubiquitin thioester transfer.

Abstract: UBA1 and UBA6 define parallel ubiquitin (Ub) activation systems that perform non-overlapping roles in Ub and ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl) signaling. Whereas UBA1 supports the canonical Ub pathway, ...UBA1 and UBA6 define parallel ubiquitin (Ub) activation systems that perform non-overlapping roles in Ub and ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl) signaling. Whereas UBA1 supports the canonical Ub pathway, UBA6 also activates the Ubl FAT10, linking Ub signaling to immune-regulated proteostasis. In addition to selective Ub/Ubl activation, UBA1 and UBA6 engage distinct sets of E2s, yet how these enzymes achieve selective E2 engagement has remained unclear. Using chemical trapping and high-resolution cryo-EM, we determine four structures of UBA6-E2 complexes representing the thioester-transfer step with either FAT10 or Ub, revealing how this E1 distinguishes its cognate partners. UBA6 achieves E2 specificity through coordinated contributions of the UFD and SCCH domains, a dual-domain mechanism that contrasts with the UFD-dominated selectivity of UBA1. The structures further show that an existing inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP₆)-binding site, unique to UBA6, stabilizes an expanded SCCH cleft that pre-organizes the enzyme for selective engagement of UBA6-specific E2s. These findings define principles for E1-E2 recognition and identify InsP₆ as a cofactor shaping specificity within the Ub-like conjugation network.

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.
