Xport-A functions as a chaperone by stabilizing the first 5 transmembrane domains of Rhodopsin-1

Open access

Abstract

Summary: Rhodopsin-1 (Rh1), the main photo-sensitive protein of Drosophila , is a seven transmembrane domain protein, which is inserted co-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Maturation of Rh1 occurs in the ER, where various chaperones interact with Rh1 to aid in its folding and subsequent transport in the secretory pathway. Xport-A has been shown to be a chaperone/ transport factor for Rh1, but the exact molecular mechanism for Xport-A activity upon Rh1 is not known. Here, based on computational predictions, we propose a model where Xport-A functions as a chaperone in the biosynthesis of Rh1 by stabilizing the first 5 transmembrane domains of Rh1, but not the full length Rh1 protein.

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.
