The authors need to take the initiative and let the PDB know when their structures have been published. The correspondence from the PDB people when they are curating the structure deposition says something along these lines:
"When the primary citation associated with your entry is published, please notify
us at [log in to unmask] and provide pubmed ID (if available), journal name,
volume, page numbers, title and authors list."
