Function

ASNA_GIAIC ATPase required for the post-translational delivery of tail-anchored (TA) proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. Recognizes and selectively binds the transmembrane domain of TA proteins in the cytosol. This complex then targets to the endoplasmic reticulum by membrane-bound receptors, where the tail-anchored protein is released for insertion. This process is regulated by ATP binding and hydrolysis. ATP binding drives the homodimer towards the closed dimer state, facilitating recognition of newly synthesized TA membrane proteins. ATP hydrolysis is required for insertion. Subsequently, the homodimer reverts towards the open dimer state, lowering its affinity for the membrane-bound receptor, and returning it to the cytosol to initiate a new round of targeting.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Tail-anchored (TA) membrane proteins, accounting for roughly 2% of proteomes, are primarily targeted posttranslationally to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the guided entry of TA proteins (GET) pathway. For this complicated process, it remains unknown how the central targeting factor Get3 uses nucleotide to facilitate large conformational changes to recognize then bind clients while also preventing exposure of hydrophobic surfaces. Here, we identify the GET pathway in Giardia intestinalis and present the structure of the Get3-client complex in the critical postnucleotide-hydrolysis state, demonstrating that Get3 reorganizes the client-binding domain (CBD) to accommodate and shield the client transmembrane helix. Four additional structures of GiGet3, spanning the nucleotide-free (apo) open to closed transition and the ATP-bound state, reveal the details of nucleotide stabilization and occluded CBD. This work resolves key conundrums and allows for a complete model of the dramatic conformational landscape of Get3.
