Structural and molecular mechanisms for membrane protein biogenesis by the Oxa1 superfamily

TLDR
The Oxa1 superfamily performs membrane protein insertion in bacteria, the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and endosymbiotic organelles as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Members of the Oxa1 superfamily perform membrane protein insertion in bacteria, the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and endosymbiotic organelles. Here, we review recent structures of the three ER-resident insertases and discuss the extent to which structure and function are conserved with their bacterial counterpart YidC. Recent structures of eukaryotic membrane protein insertases of the Oxa1 superfamily reveal a conserved protein module and common mechanistic principles that enable membrane insertion of a diverse set of substrates.

YidC mediates membrane protein insertion in bacteria.

TL;DR: It is shown that membrane insertion of two Sec-independent proteins requires YidC, which is essential for E. coli viability and homologues are present in mitochondria and chloroplasts.

The GET Complex Mediates Insertion of Tail-Anchored Proteins into the ER Membrane

TL;DR: It is shown that Get3, the yeast homolog of the TA-interacting factor Asna1/Trc40, specifically recognizes TMDs of TA proteins destined for the secretory pathway, which represents a key decision step, whose loss can lead to misinsertion ofTA proteins into mitochondria.

Structural insight into the biogenesis of β-barrel membrane proteins

TL;DR: The structure of BamA is described, the central and essential component of the BAM complex, from two species of bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Haemophilus ducreyi, which consists of a large periplasmic domain attached to a 16-strand transmembrane β-barrel domain.
