Structural insights into TRAP association with ribosome-Sec61 complex, and translocon inhibition by a CADA derivative

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1126/sciadv.adf0797

Abstract

During co-translational translocation, the signal peptide of a nascent chain binds Sec61 translocon to initiate protein transport through the ER membrane. Our cryo-EM structure of ribosome-Sec61 shows binding of an ordered heterotetrameric TRranslocon-Associated Protein (TRAP) complex, in which TRAP-γ is anchored at two adjacent positions of 28S rRNA and interacts with ribosomal protein L38 and Sec61α/γ. Four transmembrane helices (TMHs) of TRAP-γ cluster with one C-terminal helix of each α, β, and δ subunits. The seven TMH bundle helps position a crescent-shaped trimeric TRAP–α/β/δ core in the ER lumen, facing the Sec61 channel. Further, our in vitro assay establishes the CADA derivative CK147 as a translocon inhibitor. A structure of ribosome-Sec61-CK147 reveals CK147 binding the channel and interacting with the plug helix from the lumenal side. The CK147-resistance mutations surround the inhibitor. These structures help in understanding the TRAP functions and provide a new Sec61 site for designing translocon inhibitors. Short Summary: Cryo-EM structures reveal TRAP binding to ribosome-Sec61 complex, and CK147 inhibiting Sec61 by arresting the plug helix inside the channel.

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.
