The functional states of the translocon complex include co- and post-translational ER import, cotranslational membrane protein integration and retrograde transport of misfolded proteins out of the ER. In the cotranslational pathway, ribosomes synthesizing presecretory proteins are targeted to the translocon by the cytosolic signal recognition particle (SRP) and its ER-localized receptor. The association of the Sec61 complex with the ribosome is mediated by the 28S rRNA of the large ribosomal subunit. SRP-independent post-translational translocation requires the association of additional factors, such as the Sec62/63 complex and KAR2. In an initial step, the signal sequence seems to bind simultaneously to SEC61 and SEC62. A cycle of assembly and disassembly of Sec62/63 complex from SEC61 may govern the activity of the translocon. SEC61 mediates the association with the ribosome.
