Structural highlights
FunctionSEC13_YEAST Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the COPII coat. It is one of 5 proteins constituting the COPII coat, which is involved in anterograde (ER to Golgi) double-membrane transport vesicle formation. First the small GTPase SAR1, activated by and binding to the integral ER membrane protein SEC12, exchanges GDP for GTP and recruits the heterodimer SEC23/24, which in turn recruits the heterotetramer SEC13-SEC31. The polymerization of COPII coat complexes then causes physically the deformation (budding) of the membrane, leading to the creation of a transport vesicle. The COPII complex is dissociated upon SAR1-GTP hydrolysis to SAR1-GDP. SEC23 functions as the SAR1 GTPase activating protein, whose activity is stimulated in the presence of SEC13/31. SEC13 is directly or indirectly required for normal ER membrane and nuclear envelope morphology. It also functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. SEC13 is required for efficient mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and for correct nuclear pore biogenesis and distribution. Component of the SEA complex which coats the vacuolar membrane and is involved in intracellular trafficking, autophagy, response to nitrogen starvation, and amino acid biogenesis.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe nuclear pore complex (NPC) constitutes the sole gateway for bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport. Despite half a century of structural characterization, the architecture of the NPC remains unknown. Here we present the crystal structure of a reconstituted ~400-kilodalton coat nucleoporin complex (CNC) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a 7.4 angstrom resolution. The crystal structure revealed a curved Y-shaped architecture and the molecular details of the coat nucleoporin interactions forming the central "triskelion" of the Y. A structural comparison of the yeast CNC with an electron microscopy reconstruction of its human counterpart suggested the evolutionary conservation of the elucidated architecture. Moreover, 32 copies of the CNC crystal structure docked readily into a cryoelectron tomographic reconstruction of the fully assembled human NPC, thereby accounting for ~16 megadalton of its mass.
