GET3 Gene

Name guided entry of tail-anchored proteins factor 3, ATPase
Description This gene represents the human homolog of the bacterial arsA gene, encoding the arsenite-stimulated ATPase component of the arsenite transporter responsible for resistance to arsenicals. This protein is also a central component of a transmembrane domain (TMD) recognition complex (TRC) that is involved in the post-translational delivery of tail-anchored (TA) proteins from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It recognizes and selectively binds the TMD of TA proteins in the cytosol, and delivers them to the ER for insertion. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n GET3 (also known as TRC40/Asna1) is an evolutionarily conserved ATPase that functions in a post‐translational pathway dedicated to the targeting and insertion of tail‐anchored proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. GET3 recognizes and binds the hydrophobic C‐terminal transmembrane domains of newly synthesized tail‐anchored proteins in the cytosol, thereby preventing their aggregation. Through ATP hydrolysis, GET3 mediates the release of these substrates to a protein‐receptor complex—composed of key components such as WRB and CAML—which then facilitates their proper integration into the lipid bilayer."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In addition to its central role in ensuring efficient membrane protein biogenesis, GET3 also contributes to broader aspects of cellular homeostasis.
