YidC and SecYEG form a heterotetrameric protein translocation channel [PDF]
The heterotrimeric SecYEG complex cooperates with YidC to facilitate membrane protein insertion by an unknown mechanism. Here we show that YidC contacts the interior of the SecY channel resulting in a ligand-activated and voltage-dependent complex with ...

Key contributions of a glycolipid to membrane protein integration [PDF]
Regulation of membrane protein integration involves molecular devices such as Sec-translocons or the insertase YidC. We have identified an integration-promoting factor in the inner membrane of Escherichia coli called membrane protein integrase (MPIase ...

Off-target structural insights: ArnA and AcrB in bacterial membrane-protein cryo-EM analysis. [PDF]
This study highlights that cryo‐EM can reveal structural information beyond the intended target, and that overexpression of membrane proteins involved in quality control may lead to the co‐purification of proteins such as ArnA and AcrB.Membrane‐protein quality control in Escherichia coli involves coordinated actions of the AAA+ protease FtsH, the ...

Combined 1H-Detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy and electron cryotomography to study membrane proteins across resolutions in native environments [PDF]
Membrane proteins remain challenging targets for structural biology, despite much effort, as their native environment is heterogeneous and complex. Most methods rely on detergents to extract membrane proteins from their native environment, but this ...

Downregulation of yidC in Escherichia coli by antisense RNA expression results in sensitization to antibacterial essential oils eugenol and carvacrol. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The rising drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria and inefficiency of current antibiotics to meet clinical requirements has augmented the need to establish new and innovative approaches for antibacterial drug discovery involving ...

YidC-mediated membrane insertion [PDF]
The most simple membrane protein insertion catalyst known so far is the universal YidC/Oxa/Alb insertase that is composed of a single multi-spanning protein present in archaea, bacteria and in eukaryotic organelles. In bacteria, YidC is known to integrate small membrane proteins on its own and more complex proteins in conjunction with the SecYEG ...

The membrane insertase YidC inserts newly synthesized proteins by its hydrophobic slide consisting of the two transmembrane (TM) segments TM3 and TM5. Mutations in this part of the protein affect the insertion of the client proteins.

YidC/Alb3/Oxa1 Family of Insertases [PDF]
The YidC/Alb3/Oxa1 family functions in the insertion and folding of proteins in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, and the mitochondrial inner membrane. All members share a conserved region composed of five transmembrane regions.

Real time observation of single membrane protein insertion events by the Escherichia coli insertase YidC. [PDF]
Membrane protein translocation and insertion is a central issue in biology. Here we focus on a minimal system, the membrane insertase YidC of Escherichia coli that inserts small proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. In a reconstituted system individual
