General info

Function

Part of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) that enables the energy-independent insertion into endoplasmic reticulum membranes of newly synthesized membrane proteins (PubMed : 29242231, PubMed : 29809151, PubMed : 30415835, PubMed : 32439656, PubMed : 32459176, PubMed : 33964204). Preferentially accommodates proteins with transmembrane domains that are weakly hydrophobic or contain destabilizing features such as charged and aromatic residues (PubMed : 29242231, PubMed : 29809151, PubMed : 30415835). Involved in the cotranslational insertion of multi-pass membrane proteins in which stop-transfer membrane-anchor sequences become ER membrane spanning helices (PubMed : 29809151, PubMed : 30415835). It is also required for the post-translational insertion of tail-anchored/TA proteins in endoplasmic reticulum membranes (PubMed : 29242231, PubMed : 29809151). By mediating the proper cotranslational insertion of N-terminal transmembrane domains in an N-exo topology, with translocated N-terminus in the lumen of the ER, controls the topology of multi-pass membrane proteins like the G protein-coupled receptors (PubMed : 30415835). By regulating the insertion of various proteins in membranes, it is indirectly involved in many cellular processes (Probable).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the EMC2 family.

Post-translational modifications

Ubiquitinated when soluble in the cytoplasm, leading to its degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:33964204). Interaction with EMC2 prevents its ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:33964204).
