SEC62 also known as translocation protein SEC62 is an essential component of the protein translocation machinery in cells. It is part of the Sec61 complex and helps with the translocation of nascent polypeptides across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. SEC62 has a molecular mass of approximately 24 kilodaltons. It is expressed widely in tissues with higher expression levels observed in the pancreas and liver which are essential for protein synthesis and secretion.
Biological function summary
Beyond its role in the ER SEC62 contributes to the maintenance of calcium homeostasis and cellular stress responses. It forms a part of the SEC63 complex working alongside SEC63 and SEC61 to facilitate protein folding and assembly. This protein also plays a role in the response to ER stress where it assists in relieving the burden by managing calcium leakage across the ER membrane which is important for maintaining cell health under stress conditions.
Pathways
SEC62 plays a significant role in the signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway and the unfolded protein response (UPR). It interacts with other proteins in these pathways including SEC63 and BIP to regulate protein processing and transport. The SEC61 complex which includes SEC62 integrates signals for targeting nascent proteins to the ER membrane and aids in managing misfolded protein accumulation through UPR therefore ensuring cellular homeostasis.
SEC62 has been linked to various types of cancer including prostate and thyroid cancer where its overexpression correlates with tumor progression and metastasis. It interacts with proteins like BIP in cancer cells contributing to the ER stress response that supports cancer cell survival. Additionally alterations in SEC62 are associated with congenital disorders like congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) where dysfunctional protein translocation and glycosylation processes impact cellular function.
