TL;DR

The structure suggests that the ribosome alone, even without a nascent chain, is sufficient for lateral opening of Sec61 in a lipid environment, independent of its functional state.

Hydrophobicity and signal sequence binding to the Sec complex: A single molecule biophysical perspective.

This study investigates how the hydrophobicity of SSs affects the interaction with the Sec complex at the single-molecule level using optical tweezers, and suggests that the Sec complex may selectively recognize and interact with SSs based on their hydrophobicity.

Folding and oligomerization of CLC channels and transporters

Regarded as one of the most complex membrane protein folds, CLCs form a large family of membrane proteins that function as anion channels and secondary active anion/proton transporters. Despite low sequence similarity, available structures are remarkably similar, maintaining the same inverted topology and fold, with su...

Functional mapping and engineering of the Sec translocon unlocked by a cell-free system

Almost all membrane proteins are inserted or translocated across membranes by the universally conserved Sec translocon. Despite its central role, experimental access to Sec function has remained limited. Here, we present ProSecCO (Protein Secretion in Cell-free via synthetic Operons), which is a cell-free protein synth...

Dimerization in the SLC12 family: Structural and biochemical perspectives.

It is becoming increasingly clear that large conformational changes in dimeric arrangements deserve attention, alongside other understudied areas like lipid interactions, nucleotide or N-terminal binding to the dimerization domains, and potential roles of the less described member SLC12A9.

Mechanistic Insights into Autoinhibition of the Human Flippase ATP8B1

It is demonstrated that a minimal peptide spanning residues 1216-1228, which bridges the A- and N-domains in the autoinhibited conformation, is sufficient to inhibit ATPase activity.
