Function

Component of SEC61 channel-forming translocon complex that mediates transport of signal peptide-containing precursor polypeptides across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (PubMed:12475939, PubMed:22375059, PubMed:28782633, PubMed:29719251, PubMed:32814900). Forms a ribosome receptor and a gated pore in the ER membrane, both functions required for cotranslational translocation of nascent polypeptides (PubMed:22375059, PubMed:28782633, PubMed:29719251). May cooperate with auxiliary protein SEC62, SEC63 and HSPA5/BiP to enable post-translational transport of small presecretory proteins (PubMed:22375059, PubMed:29719251). The SEC61 channel is also involved in ER membrane insertion of transmembrane proteins: it mediates membrane insertion of the first few transmembrane segments of proteins, while insertion of subsequent transmembrane regions of multi-pass membrane proteins is mediated by the multi-pass translocon (MPT) complex (PubMed:32820719, PubMed:36261522). The SEC61 channel cooperates with the translocating protein TRAM1 to import nascent proteins into the ER (PubMed:8616892). Controls the passive efflux of calcium ions from the ER lumen to the cytosol through SEC61 channel, contributing to the maintenance of cellular calcium homeostasis (PubMed:28782633). Plays a critical role in nephrogenesis, specifically at pronephros stage (By similarity).

Activity summary

SEC61A also known as Sec61p or protein transport protein Sec61 subunit alpha isoform 1 serves as an important component of the protein translocation process. This protein weighs approximately 54 kDa and is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane of eukaryotic cells. SEC61A forms part of the SEC61 complex which operates as a channel for polypeptide chains to enter the ER from the cytosol. It plays a central role in the translocation of nascent polypeptide chains into the ER or their integration into the ER membrane.

Biological function summary

The SEC61 complex holds significance in the translocon channel with SEC61A contributing to the determination of ER insertion or membrane integration of proteins. Its function is often associated with the ribosome as the complex forms a conduit for nascent proteins during translation. The SEC61A ensures proper protein localization with the translocon complex acting as a bridge between the ribosome and the ER. It is integral to cellular processes that require precise protein folding modification and targeting within cells.

Pathways

The role of SEC61A in protein targeting is vital for maintaining various cellular functions. The unfolded protein response (UPR) and the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathways depend on SEC61A for the recognition and resolution of misfolded proteins. In these pathways SEC61A interacts with the proteins like BIP and other chaperones involved in monitoring protein folding status and activating the necessary stress responses if unfolded proteins accumulate. Its involvement in these pathways highlights its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysfunctions of SEC61A contribute to various conditions such as cystic fibrosis and diabetes. Improper function of SEC61A links to defective protein translocation leading to accumulation of misfolded proteins a characteristic observed in cystic fibrosis alongside the CFTR protein. Similarly in diabetes inefficient SEC61A function might disturb insulin production or secretion since SEC61A's role in protein translocation and processing is fundamental. Moreover SEC61A dysfunction can affect proteins like IAPP involved in β-cell amyloid formation further linking it to diabetes pathogenesis.
