Structure and Function of the ER-Membrane Complex
The ER-Membrane Complex (EMC) is a highly conserved heterodecameric membrane protein complex, found in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane. The EMC has been implicated in a wide range of processes including viral reproduction, inter-organelle phospholipid transfer, cholesterol biosynthesis and …

Regulation of Protein Degradation at the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated degradation (ERAD) is important for removing damaged or misfolded proteins at the ER membrane, and is central to the physiological regulation of proteins such as HMG-CoA Reductase (HMGCR), the rate limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Under sterol rich …

Biogenesis of Multipass Membrane Proteins
Roughly one-fourth of all genes code for integral membrane proteins. Most membrane proteins pass back and forth across the lipid bilayer multiple times. Multipass membrane proteins, such as ion channels and receptors, are essential for nearly all transport and communication across the plasma …

Membrane protein biosynthesis at the endoplasmic reticulum
The biosynthesis of integral membrane proteins (IMPs) is an essential cellular process. IMPs comprise roughly 20-30% of the protein coding genes of all organisms, nearly all of which are inserted and assembled at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The defining structural feature of IMPs is one or more …
