@tzujingyang.bsky.social et al, in collaboration with the @hummerlab.bsky.social, used #cryoEM and #MD to visualize an SND3 translocon complex that inserts proteins into the ER membrane 🤯 Full article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
SND3 is the membrane insertase within a distinct SEC61 translocon complex - Nature Communications
The fungal SND pathway inserts a wide range of proteins into the ER membrane. Here, SND3 is identified as a membrane insertase within a distinct SEC61 translocon complex, implying a role in co-transla...
