YidC/Oxa1p/Alb3: evolutionarily conserved mediators of membrane protein assembly.
Open accessAbstract
This review focuses on a novel, evolutionarily conserved mediator of membrane protein assembly in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. This factor is designated YidC in Escherichia coli, and is localized in the inner membrane. YidC is homologous to Oxa1p in the mitochondrial inner membrane and Alb3 in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, but does not seem to have a homologue in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. It has been suggested that YidC operates both as a separate unit and in connection with the SecYEG‐translocon depending on the substrate membrane protein that is integrated into the membrane. Mitochondria do not possess a SecYEG‐like complex and Oxa1p is thought to form, or to contribute to the formation of, a novel translocon in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Alb3 in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane is, just like YidC and Oxa1p, involved in membrane protein assembly, but only few details are known.

Although YidC can act as a SecYEG-independent insertase for some membrane proteins, it also associates with the SecYEG complex.
“Although YidC can act as SecYEG-independent insertase for some membrane proteins (Samuelson et al., 2000; Luirink et al., 2001; Serek et al., 2004; Welte et al., 2012), it also associates with the SecYEG complex (Scotti et al., 2000; Nouwen and Driessen, 2002; Li et al., 2013; Sachelaru et al., 2015, 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
