TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: YidC is required for the assembly of the MscL homopentameric pore

The mechanosensitive channel with large conductance (MscL) ofEscheri-chia coliis formed by a homopentameric assembly of MscL proteins. Here, we describe MscL biogenesis as determined usingin vivo approaches. Evi-dence is presented that MscL is targeted to the inner membrane via the sig-nal recognition particle (SRP) pathway, and is inserted into the lipid bilayer independently of the Sec machinery. | ỊFEBS Journal YidC is required for the assembly of the MscL homopentameric pore Ovidiu I.

Here we describe MscL biogenesis as determined using in vivo approaches. Evidence is presented that MscL is targeted to the inner membrane via the signal recognition particle SRP pathway and is inserted into the lipid bilayer independently of the Sec machinery. This is consistent with published data. Surprisingly and in conflict with earlier data YidC is not critical for membrane insertion of MscL. In the absence of YidC assembly of the homopentameric MscL complex was strongly reduced suggesting a late role for YidC in the biogenesis of MscL. The data are consistent with the view that YidC functions as a membrane-based chaperone module to facilitate assembly of a subset of protein complexes in the inner membrane of E. coli. doi Introduction Membrane proteins are responsible for a variety of cellular functions such as solute transport
