摘要: Membrane protein insertion and topogenesis generally occur at the Sec61 translocon in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. During this process, membrane spanning segments may adopt two distinct orientations with either their N- or C-terminus translocated into ER lumen. While different topogenic determinants proteins, such as flanking charges, polypeptide folding, hydrophobicity, have been identified, it is not well understood how and/or associated components decode them. Here we present evidence that translocon-associated (TRAP) complex involved vivo. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of TRAP HeLa cells enhanced topology effect mutating charges a signal-anchor, but increasing signal hydrophobicity. The results suggest role moderating 'positive-inside' rule.
