摘要

Protein translocases, such as the bacterial SecY complex, the Sec61 complex of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondrial translocases, facilitate the transport of proteins across membranes. In addition, they catalyze the insertion of integral membrane proteins into the lipid bilayer. Several membrane insertases cooperate with these translocases, thereby promoting the topogenesis, folding and assembly of membrane proteins. Oxa1 and BamA family members serve as core components in the two major classes of membrane insertases. They facilitate the integration of proteins with alpha-helical transmembrane domains and of beta-barrel proteins into lipid bilayers, respectively. Members of the Oxa1 family were initially found in the internal membranes of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Recent studies, however, also identified several Oxa1-type insertases in the ER, where they serve as catalytically active core subunits in the ER membrane protein complex (EMC), the guided entry of tail-anchored (GET) and the GET- and EMC-like (GEL) complex. The outer membrane of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain beta-barrel proteins, which are inserted by members of the BamA family. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we provide an overview of these different types of membrane insertases and discuss their function.
