Summary: Tail-anchored (TA) proteins contain a single C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) that is captured by the cytosolic Get3 in yeast (TRC40 in humans). Get3 delivers TA proteins to the Get1/2 complex for insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. How Get1/2 mediates insertion of TMDs of TA proteins into the membrane is poorly understood. Using bulk fluorescence and microfluidics assays, we show that Get1/2 forms an aqueous channel in reconstituted bilayers. We estimate the channel diameter to be ∼2.5 nm wide, corresponding to the circumference of two Get1/2 complexes. We find that the Get3 binding can seal the Get1/2 channel, which dynamically opens and closes. Our mutation analysis further shows that the Get1/2 channel activity is required to release TA proteins from Get3 for insertion into the membrane. Hence, we propose that the Get1/2 channel functions as an insertase for insertion of TMDs and as a translocase for translocation of C-terminal hydrophilic segments. |
