Insertase

spinqualitylabelsall models Cryo EM structure of E. coli insertase (cyan) complex with membrane domain of ATP synthase (green) PDB code 4utq.

Ins interacts with its substrate in a groove-like structure at an ampiphilic protein-lipid interface allowing the transmembrane segments of the substrate to slide into the lipid bilayer. Structural highlights E. Coli Ins (YidC) contains 6 transmembrane segments. Two of these segments was found to interact with a helical segments of a protein which is a candidate for insertion into a plasma membrane.
