Function

Component of SEC61 channel-forming translocon complex that mediates transport of signal peptide-containing precursor polypeptides across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (PubMed:12475939). Forms a ribosome receptor and a gated pore in the ER membrane, both functions required for cotranslational translocation of nascent polypeptides (PubMed:12475939). 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:19121997).

Activity summary

SEC61B also known as Sec61 beta subunit or Protein Transport Protein Sec61 subunit beta is a component of the Sec61 complex. It has a mass of approximately 9 kDa. SEC61B is expressed broadly in various tissues but it is found most abundantly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. This protein functions mechanically as a part of the protein translocation machinery that guides nascent polypeptides into or across the ER membrane.

Biological function summary

SEC61B assists in the regulation and positioning of the Sec61 translocon complex which includes alpha and gamma subunits. This protein is not a gatekeeper of the channel but rather stabilizes the complex and influences co-translational and post-translational translocation of proteins. It plays roles in maintaining ER homeostasis and facilitating the integration of newly synthesized proteins into the ER membrane affecting various cellular processes such as secretion and membrane biogenesis.

Pathways

SEC61B operates in the protein translocation pathways within the ER membrane. It is integral to the secretory pathway that moves proteins from the cytoplasm into the ER lumen or membrane. Additionally SEC61B interacts with proteins like ribosome-bound signal recognition particle (SRP) to facilitate accurate protein targeting and translocation. It associates with other ER resident proteins to manage polypeptide folding and processing.

Associated diseases and disorders

SEC61B has connections to conditions that involve protein misfolding and improperly handled ER stress such as cystic fibrosis and certain neurodegenerative diseases. In cystic fibrosis misfolded proteins can trigger ER stress and cause adaptive responses. The involvement of proteins like the SEC61 complex in ameliorating ER stress highlights potential therapeutic targets. Therefore understanding SEC61B function and regulation may provide insights into therapeutic intervention for ER-stress-related disorders.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-SEC61B antibody (ab15576)

    Immunofluorescence analysis of SEC61B was performed using 70% confluent log phase MDCK cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with SEC61B Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (ab15576) at 1/250 dilution in 0.1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate at a dilution of 1/2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin. Panel d represents the merged image showing cytoplasmic localization. Panel e shows the no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 60X magnification.
