Consequences of mutations in the genes of the ER export machinery COPII in vertebrates.
Cell stress & chaperones - 1 Mar 2020
Lu Chung-Ling, Kim Jinoh
Abstract excerpt
Coat protein complex II (COPII) plays an essential role in the export of cargo molecules such as secretory proteins, membrane proteins, and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In yeast, the COPII machinery is critical for cell viability as most COPII knockout mutants fail to survive. In mice and fish, homozygous knockout mutants of most COPII genes are embryonic lethal, reflecting the essentiality of the...
