    Structural and mechanistic basis of the EMC-dependent biogenesis of distinct transmembrane clients

    Lakshmi E Miller-Vedam, Bastian Bräuning ... Jonathan S Weissman
    Structure-function characterization of the EMC's cytoplasmic, transmembrane, and lumenal domains reveal features critical for terminal helix insertion and a specialized role for the lumenal domain in polytopic membrane protein biogenesis.

    A critical role of VMP1 in lipoprotein secretion

    Hideaki Morishita, Yan G Zhao ... Noboru Mizushima
    The ER transmembrane protein VMP1 is important for release of lipoproteins from the ER membrane into the ER lumen for secretion.

    A physical mechanism of TANGO1-mediated bulky cargo export

    Ishier Raote, Morgan Chabanon ... Felix Campelo
    TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.

    The ART-Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase network comprises a plasma membrane quality control system that protects yeast cells from proteotoxic stress

    Yingying Zhao, Jason A MacGurn ... Scott Emr
    Ubiquitin ligase adaptors target the selective clearance of misfolded plasma membrane proteins.

    Movement of accessible plasma membrane cholesterol by the GRAMD1 lipid transfer protein complex

    Tomoki Naito, Bilge Ercan ... Yasunori Saheki
    GRAMD1 proteins sense a transient expansion of the accessible pool of plasma membrane cholesterol and facilitate its transport to the endoplasmic reticulum at ER-PM contact sites.

    An ER phospholipid hydrolase drives ER-associated mitochondrial constriction for fission and fusion

    Tricia T Nguyen, Gia K Voeltz
    ABHD16A is a phospholipid-modifying endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein required for both mitochondrial fission and fusion machinery recruitment to ER-associated mitochondrial constrictions.

    The critical role of membralin in postnatal motor neuron survival and disease

    Bo Yang, Mingliang Qu ... Dongxian Zhang
    Membralin mutant mice manifest a severe and early-onset motor neuron disease with defects in endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation.

    The architecture of EMC reveals a path for membrane protein insertion

    John P O'Donnell, Ben P Phillips ... Ramanujan S Hegde
    Structural and biochemical analysis of an abundant and conserved protein complex called EMC shows how it is likely to insert nascent membrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

    GRAM domain proteins specialize functionally distinct ER-PM contact sites in human cells

    Marina Besprozvannaya, Eamonn Dickson ... Jodi Nunnari
    Functionally distinct ER-PM domains in human cells are defined by conserved GRAM domain containing proteins.
