Abstract excerpt
The major constituent of the eukaryotic ER protein-translocation channel (Sec61p in yeast, Sec61α in higher eukaryotes) shows a high degree of evolutionary conservation from yeast to humans. The vast majority of eukaryotic species have a conserved di-tyrosine in the 4th ER luminal loop. Previously, we discovered through a screen of ethylnitrosourea- (ENU-) mutagenized mice that substitution of the latter of these...
