Abstract excerpt
Tail anchored (TA) proteins, which are important for numerous cellular processes, are defined by a single transmembrane domain (TMD) near the C-terminus. The membrane insertion of TA proteins is mediated by the highly conserved ATPase Get3. Here we report the crystal structures of Get3 in ADP-bound and nucleotide-free forms at 3.0 A and 2.8 A resolutions, respectively. Get3 consists of a nucleotide binding domain...
