Mutation in the Trapalpha/Ssr1 gene, encoding translocon-associated protein alpha, results in outflow tract morphogenetic defects.

Abstract excerpt

Translocon-associated protein complex (TRAP) is thought to be required for efficient protein-specific translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. We created a mutation in the Trapalpha gene that leads to the synthesis of a truncated TRAPalpha protein fused to ShBle-beta-galactosidase. Analysis of Trapalpha cDNAs reveals that among three different messenger RNAs expressed in the mouse, one of them...
