Abstract excerpt
The SEL1L-HRD1 complex is the most conserved branch of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), yet whether SEL1L is strictly required for HRD1 function in mammals has remained unclear. Here, we show, using complementary in vivo and in vitro approaches, that direct SEL1L-HRD1 binding is essential for ERAD activity and neonatal survival. Three knock-in mouse models targeting this interface reveal a...
