What is it about?

In this review we summarize our understanding (by 2011) of helical membrane protein integration at the endoplasmic reticulum, and highlight specific characteristics that affect the biogenesis (targeting, insertion and folding) of membrane proteins

Why is it important?

It covers the whole process from protein biosynthesis at the ribosome to protein assembly within the membrane.

Perspectives

We highlighted the central role of the translocon but extending it to the main translocon-associated protein components. In addition, we emphasize the requirements of the transmembrane domains to be recognized by the translocon.
