EMC10 is a component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein complex (EMC), a conserved co- and post-translational insertase which enables the energy-independent insertion into ER membranes of newly synthesized membrane proteins [1-4]. It is involved in the co-translational insertion of multi-pass membrane proteins in which stop-transfer membrane-anchor sequences become ER membrane spanning helices. This complex controls the topology of multi-pass membrane proteins, such as G protein-coupled receptors [1,4]. This entry represents a conserved domain found in these proteins, which adopts a beta-sandwich fold.
ER membrane protein complex subunit 7, beta-sandwich domain
This is the beta-sandwich domain found in ER membrane protein complex subunit 7 (EMC7) [1,2], which is an integral membrane component of the EMC. EMC is widely conserved and involved in membrane protein biogenesis. It mediates the insertion into endo ...
This is the beta-sandwich domain found in ER membrane protein complex subunit 7 (EMC7) [1,2], which is an integral membrane component of the EMC. EMC is widely conserved and involved in membrane protein biogenesis. It mediates the insertion into endoplasmic reticulum membranes of newly synthesized membrane proteins in an energy-independent manner, both post-translational insertions of tail-anchored proteins and co-translational insertion of multipass membrane proteins [3,4]. This entry includes UPF0620 protein C83.10 from S. pombe, an orthologue of animal EMC7. This domain is also found in nodal modulators, which have been identified as part of a protein complex that participates in the nodal signalling pathway during vertebrate development [5].
