Abstract

Multispanning membrane proteins are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the ribosome-bound multipass translocon machinery. Based on cryo-electron tomography and extensive subtomogram analysis, we reveal the composition and arrangement of multipass translocon components in their native membrane environment. The intramembrane chaperone complex PAT and the translocon associated protein (TRAP) complex associate substoichiometrically with the multipass translocon in a translation-dependent manner. While PAT is preferentially recruited to active complexes, TRAP primarily associates with inactive translocons. The subtomogram average of the TRAP-multipass translocon reveals intermolecular contacts between the luminal domains of TRAP and an unknown subunit of the BOS complex. AlphaFold modeling suggests this protein is NOMO, bridging the luminal domains of nicalin and TRAPα. Collectively, our results visualize the interplay of accessory factors associated with multipass membrane protein biogenesis under near-native conditions.

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.
