    text
  • present in finely granular structures and was located exclusively in the ER
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a crutial role in the insertion of secretory and membrane polypeptides into the ER
  • required for assembly of membrane and secretory proteins
  • SEC61A1 complexes that are present in the ER membrane of nucleated cells form calcium leak channels that may play a crucial role in calcium homeostasis
  • heterotrimeric SEC61A1 complex, which forms a dynamic polypeptide-conducting channel in the ER membrane
  • role for SEC61A1 in the formation of the minimal filtration unit of the kidney, the nephron
  • LONRF1, CDK1, RPL18, GNB2L1 (RACK1), RPL30, and SEC61A1 are crucial components in the diagnosis and treatment of Prostate carcinoma
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, post translation, targeting
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    text protein transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • gamma forming a transmembrane channel (Sec61 complex) where proteins are translocated across and integrated into the ER membrane
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • HSPA5 limits ER Ca(2+) leakage through the SEC61A1 complex by binding to the ER lumenal loop 7 of Sec61A1 in the vicinity of tyrosine 344
  • DNAJB11 associates with a large complex including SEC61A1
  • co-chaperone-controlled gating of the SEC61A1 channel by HSPA5 is particularly important for cells, which are highly active in protein secretion, and breakdown of this regulatory mechanism can cause apoptosis and disease
  • PEX3 inserts co-translationally into the mammalian ER via the SEC61A1 translocon
  • cell & other
  • tightly binding to membrane-bound ribosomes, either directly or through adapter proteins
