The ubiquitous and ancient ER membrane protein complex (EMC): tether or not?
The recently discovered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein complex (EMC) has been implicated in ER-associated degradation (ERAD), lipid transport and tethering between the ER and mitochondrial outer membranes, and assembly of multipass ER-membrane proteins. The EMC has been studied in both animals and fungi but its presence outside the Opisthokont clade (animals + fungi + related proti...
متن کاملA Conserved Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Protein Complex (EMC) Facilitates Phospholipid Transfer from the ER to Mitochondria
Mitochondrial membrane biogenesis and lipid metabolism require phospholipid transfer from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to mitochondria. Transfer is thought to occur at regions of close contact of these organelles and to be nonvesicular, but the mechanism is not known. Here we used a novel genetic screen in S. cerevisiae to identify mutants with defects in lipid exchange between the ER and mit...
متن کاملAUP1 (Ancient Ubiquitous Protein 1)
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. A major cause is atherogenic dyslipidemia, which is characterized by increased concentrations of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and is seen in subjects with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Increased hepatic secretion of triglyceride-rich very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) is a major determinant of the hypertrigl...
متن کاملThe ER membrane protein complex is a transmembrane domain insertase.
Insertion of proteins into membranes is an essential cellular process. The extensive biophysical and topological diversity of membrane proteins necessitates multiple insertion pathways that remain incompletely defined. Here we found that known membrane insertion pathways fail to effectively engage tail-anchored membrane proteins with moderately hydrophobic transmembrane domains. These proteins ...
متن کاملGangliogliomas: ubiquitous or not?
In many publications, gangliogliomas are often referred to as “ubiquitous.” This term, meaning both “existing everywhere” or “constantly encountered,” is both correct and incorrect when referring to these tumors. Gangliogliomas may exist anywhere in the central nervous system, but are not commonly encountered. In this issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, two articles address the top...
