Compositional and conformational dynamics are integral to the assembly and function of macromolecular complexes. Fueled by deep learning, new single -particle cryo-EM image analysis tools have revealed these structural dynamics in isolated samples. However, a key goal of structural biology is to interrogate these dynamic structures in their native cellular environment, which would reveal how distinct structural states are partitioned throughout the cell, how they uniquely interact with other cellular components, and how they respond to genetic and environmental perturbations. Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), which has the potential for high -resolution imaging directly in flash - frozen cells, represents a promising path toward achieving this goal. Indeed, modern cryo-ET workflows have revealed molecularly interpretable, sub-nm structures of key complexes, including the ribosome. To date, most cryo - ET processing algorithms aim to increase resolution by relying on expert-guided classification of structures into a discrete set of approximately homogeneous classes. Such discrete classification models scale poorly to highly heterogeneous ensembles and are inherently ill-match to molecules undergoing continuous motion. To analyze such complex structural ensembles in situ, we developed tomoDRGN, which employs a modified variational autoencoder to embed individual particles in a continuous latent space and to reconstruct unique volumes informed by the latent. Here, we describe the tomoDRGN model architecture, which was purpose - built for tomographic datasets; we detail its performance on simulated and exemplar experimental datasets, and we highlight tools built to aid in interpreting tomoDRGN outputs in the context of a cellular tomogram. Additionally, we showcase its application to the process of bacterial ribosome biogenesis - specifically comparing the structural ensembles observed in situ with those observed in isolated samples.
组成和构象动态是大分子复合物组装和功能不可或缺的一部分。在深度学习的推动下,新的单颗粒低温电子显微镜图像分析工具揭示了分离样本中的这些结构动态。然而,结构生物学的一个关键目标是在原生细胞环境中研究这些动态结构,从而揭示不同的结构状态是如何在整个细胞中分配的、它们是如何与其他细胞成分独特地相互作用的,以及它们是如何对遗传和环境扰动做出反应的。低温电子断层成像技术(cryo-ET)可以直接在冰冻细胞中进行高分辨率成像,是实现这一目标的一条很有前景的途径。事实上,现代低温电子显微工作流已经揭示了包括核糖体在内的关键复合体的分子可解释的亚纳米结构。迄今为止,大多数低温电子显微镜处理算法都是依靠专家指导将结构分类为一组离散的近似同质类别,从而提高分辨率。这种离散分类模型很难扩展到高度异质的集合体,而且本质上与正在进行连续运动的分子不匹配。为了在原位分析这种复杂的结构集合体,我们开发了 tomoDRGN,它采用经过修改的变异自动编码器,将单个粒子嵌入连续的潜空间,并根据潜空间重建独特的体积。在此,我们将介绍专为断层扫描数据集而建的 tomoDRGN 模型架构;详细介绍其在模拟和示例实验数据集上的性能,并重点介绍在细胞断层图背景下帮助解释 tomoDRGN 输出的工具。此外,我们还展示了它在细菌核糖体生物发生过程中的应用--特别是比较了原位观察到的结构组合与分离样本中观察到的结构组合。

Serial crystallography at X - ray free electron lasers (XFELs) and synchrotron light sources, called serial femto -second crystallography (SFX) and serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX), respectively, has proved to be a successful and robust methodology for determining the structures of macromolecules at near physiological temperatures and with minimal radiation damage. To cater for these different experiments, a wide variety of delivery methods have been developed [1, 2]. Amongst these, fi xed-targets, based on micro-pattern solid-supports or chips [3] and precise stage-motion [4], have proved to be a strong and dependable approach. Fixed - target sample delivery methods allow for a reduction of sample consumption, rapid optimization of sample loading parameters and are generally easy to use, making them user friendly. Fixed -targets also lend themselves to high throughput technologies and an increased ability to locate and position crystals. Of these currently, only silicon offers the ability to perform an aperture-aligned data collection were crystals are loaded into cavities in precise locations and sequentially rastered through in step with the X -ray pulses [5]. However, the silicon wafers are highly brittle, hugely expensive, prone to fracture and are opaque, making it difficult to know a priori how well crystals have been loaded into the apertures. The polymer based fixed - targets have lacked the precision fabrication to enable this type of data - collection strategy and have been limited to directed raster-scans with crystals randomly distributed across the polymer surface. Here we present a new aperture -aligned polymer-based fixed - target, the Micro - Structured Polymer fixed - targets (MISP-chips) developed for TR - SFX using the SwissMX endstation at the Cristallina experimental station of SwissFEL [Fig. 1]. The MISP-chips, like those made from silicon, have a precise array of cavities and fiducial markers. Using silicon microfabrication and polymer replication technologies, we have designed inverted pyramidal shaped wells in membranes of 50 µm in thickness. This design enables crystals to funnel into predefined positions, optimizing the hit-rate of the probing X -ray beam. The polymer-based fi lm provides low x-ray absorption and scattering background, high design fl exibility and the potential for mass-fabrication at low cost. Here we present the methodology for the manufacture of these fixed -targets and a summary of their use at Cristallina for both standard SFX and time-resolved experiments.
在X射线自由电子激光器(XFEL)和同步辐射光源下进行的串行晶体学研究(分别称为串行飞秒晶体学研究(SFX)和串行同步辐射晶体学研究(SSX))已被证明是在接近生理温度和辐射损伤最小的条件下确定大分子结构的一种成功而稳健的方法。为了满足这些不同实验的需要,人们开发了多种传输方法[1, 2]。其中,基于微图案固体支架或芯片[3]的固定靶和精确的阶段运动[4]已被证明是一种强大而可靠的方法。固定靶样品输送方法可以减少样品消耗,快速优化样品装载参数,而且通常易于使用,对用户非常友好。固定靶还适用于高通量技术,并提高了晶体定位的能力。目前,只有硅能够进行孔径对齐数据采集,即晶体被装入精确定位的空腔中,并与 X 射线脉冲同步依次通过[5]。然而,硅晶片脆性高、价格昂贵、易断裂,而且不透明,因此很难事先知道晶体装入孔中的情况。基于聚合物的固定靶缺乏精确的制造工艺,因此无法采用这种数据收集策略,只能进行定向光栅扫描,晶体随机分布在聚合物表面。在这里,我们介绍一种新的孔径对齐聚合物固定靶,即微结构聚合物固定靶(MISP-chips),它是利用瑞士激光发射台 Cristallina 实验站的 SwissMX 端站为 TR - SFX 开发的[图 1]。MISP 芯片与用硅制成的芯片一样,具有精确的空腔阵列和关键标记。利用硅微加工和聚合物复制技术,我们在厚度为 50 微米的薄膜上设计了倒金字塔形的孔。这种设计使晶体能够漏斗状地进入预设位置,优化了探测 X 射线束的命中率。基于聚合物的薄膜具有低 X 射线吸收和散射背景、高设计灵活性和低成本大规模制造的潜力。在此,我们介绍了制造这些固定靶的方法,并总结了这些靶在克里斯塔利纳用于标准 SFX 和时间分辨实验的情况。

Quality assessment and biomolecular structure modeling for cryo-EM using deep learning 利用深度学习进行低温电子显微镜质量评估和生物分子结构建模

In recent years, an increasing number of protein and nucleotide structures have been modeled from cryo -electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps. However, even though the EM map resolution has generally improved steadily over the past years, there are still many situations where modeling errors occur in high-resolution EM maps, or modelers face difficulties in modeling biomolecular structures due to locally low resolution in the map. To address such challenges, we have applied deep learning to three tasks: model quality assessment, protein structure modeling, and DNA/RNA structure modeling in cryo-EM maps. 1: Model Quality Assessment Modeling a protein structure into a cryo-EM map is a challenging task. One of the main difficulties is assigning the correct amino acids to their corresponding positions. Moreover, even with high-quality maps, there is always a risk of human error in the modeling process. To ensure the resulting atomic model is as accurate as possible, it's essential to perform rigorous validation using appropriate methods. To validate protein structure models in cryo-EM maps, our group developed a novel method based on the Deep -learning-based Amino-acid-wise model Quality (DAQ) score. In the DAQ score, the neural network detects specific map features for protein amino acid residue types, Cα atoms, and secondary structures, and computes the likelihood that each residue assignment is correct. By quantifying the incompatibilities between the protein model and the EM map at the amino acid level, the DAQ score provides a more accurate and sensitive measure of model quality compared to other methods [1]. Overall, the DAQ score offers a powerful tool for assessing protein structure models in EM maps and advancing cryo-EM research. The DAQ score can be computed on the Google Colab site (https://bit.ly/daq - score) or local machine by installing the code from ( https://github.com/kiharalab/DAQ). Our group has also recently released the DAQ -Score Database [2] (https
近年来,越来越多的蛋白质和核苷酸结构是通过低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)图建模的。然而,尽管过去几年电磁图的分辨率普遍稳步提高,但仍有很多情况下高分辨率电磁图会出现建模错误,或者由于电磁图的局部分辨率较低,建模人员在对生物分子结构建模时会遇到一些困难。为了应对这些挑战,我们将深度学习应用于三个任务:模型质量评估、蛋白质结构建模和低温电磁图中的 DNA/RNA 结构建模。1:模型质量评估 将蛋白质结构建模到低温电子显微镜图中是一项具有挑战性的任务。主要困难之一是将正确的氨基酸分配到相应的位置。此外,即使是高质量的图谱,在建模过程中也始终存在人为错误的风险。为确保所生成的原子模型尽可能准确,必须使用适当的方法进行严格验证。为了验证低温电子显微镜图中的蛋白质结构模型,我们小组开发了一种基于深度学习的氨基酸模型质量(DAQ)评分的新方法。在 DAQ 分数中,神经网络检测蛋白质氨基酸残基类型、Cα 原子和二级结构的特定图谱特征,并计算每个残基分配正确的可能性。通过量化蛋白质模型和电磁图谱在氨基酸水平上的不一致性,DAQ 评分与其他方法相比能更准确、更灵敏地衡量模型质量[1]。总之,DAQ 评分为评估电磁图谱中的蛋白质结构模型和推进低温电磁研究提供了一个强有力的工具。DAQ得分可以在谷歌Colab网站(https://bit.ly/daq - score)上计算,也可以在本地计算机上安装代码(https://github.com/kiharalab/DAQ)计算。我们小组最近还发布了 DAQ 分数数据库[2](https

Structural biology enables scientists to examine molecular structures in exceptional detail, including at the atomic level. This knowledge of molecular anatomy is crucial for understanding how molecules function and for guiding structure-based drug discovery. Visualizing and manipulating molecular structures is an essential step in this process, and advances in technology are providing increasingly sophisticated methods for doing so. The very process of visual exploration can be a moment for creativity and lead to unexpected ideas. Nanome has developed a platform that utilizes virtual and mixed reality to enable scientists to brainstorm in front of 3D structures and use the platform as a sandbox for visually testing hypotheses. The intuitive interaction with molecules offered by the virtual reality environment makes it a powerful tool for promoting creativity and unlocking unforeseen inspirations. Research groups have used this virtual environment to freely explore structures and molecular designs in real-time, leading to the ideation of completely novel compounds and gaining new structural insights.

Since October 2021, we have started public use of CryoTEM as an ancillary facility for structural biology beamlines at SPring-8. We have set up a facility with two CryoTEMs, EM01CT for high -resolution data collection and EM02CT for screening, user training, and general purpose. EM01CT produces high-resolution data in a high-throughput manner for single particle analysis by using a CRYO ARM 300 (JEM - Z300FSC, JEOL) which has a cold - field emission gun, an in-column energy filter, a cryo -supporter system and is coupled with a K3 camera (Gatan). EM02CT is a CRYO ARM 200 (JEM-Z200FSC, JEOL) equipped with a K2 summit camera (Gatan). We provide a training course for all new users of the facility to enable them to have an easy start with structural analysis projects by using our CryoTEMs and continue to provide advice throughout their projects to provide the best possible environment for the successful completion of projects. We have been able to continuously provide productive machine time to the users of SPring-8 resulting in many high-resolution solution structures in the range of 2 ~ 2.5 Å. The first paper was published by one of our users in June 2022[1]. The authors tried to obtain structures of the gastric proton pump with its known inhibitors to understand its inhibitory mechanism by using X -ray crystallography. In this paper, they succeeded in obtaining the crystal structures with three compounds but could not obtain good crystals with another compound. It was crucial to obtain structures with compounds to comp are the interactions between compounds and the protein, therefore they switched to using CryoEM for the complex with the other compound, for which it was difficult to obtain good crystals. This is exactly the situation in which we set up our CryoTEMs as an ancillary facility for structural biology beamlines. In addition to the CryoTEMs
自 2021 年 10 月起,我们开始公开使用 CryoTEM 作为 SPring-8 结构生物学光束线的辅助设施。我们建立了一个拥有两台CryoTEM的设施,EM01CT用于高分辨率数据采集,EM02CT用于筛选、用户培训和一般用途。EM01CT 使用 CRYO ARM 300(JEM - Z300FSC,JEOL)以高通量方式生成高分辨率数据,用于单颗粒分析,该设备配有冷场发射枪、柱内能量过滤器、低温支撑系统和 K3 相机(Gatan)。EM02CT 是一台 CRYO ARM 200(JEM-Z200FSC,JEOL),配有 K2 峰值照相机(Gatan)。我们为设施的所有新用户提供培训课程,使他们能够使用我们的 CryoTEM 轻松开始结构分析项目,并在整个项目过程中继续提供建议,为项目的成功完成提供最佳环境。我们一直在为 SPring-8 的用户提供富有成效的机器时间,从而获得了许多 2 ~ 2.5 Å 范围内的高分辨率溶液结构。我们的一位用户于 2022 年 6 月发表了第一篇论文[1]。作者试图利用 X 射线晶体学获得胃质子泵与已知抑制剂的结构,以了解其抑制机制。在这篇论文中,他们成功获得了三种化合物的晶体结构,但无法获得另一种化合物的良好晶体。获得化合物的晶体结构对化合物与蛋白质之间的相互作用至关重要,因此,他们转而使用 CryoEM 来研究与另一种化合物的复合物,而这种复合物很难获得良好的晶体。正是在这种情况下,我们将 CryoTEM 设为结构生物学光束线的辅助设备。除了冷冻电镜
