SEC61B also known as Sec61 beta subunit or Protein Transport Protein Sec61 subunit beta is a component of the Sec61 complex. It has a mass of approximately 9 kDa. SEC61B is expressed broadly in various tissues but it is found most abundantly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. This protein functions mechanically as a part of the protein translocation machinery that guides nascent polypeptides into or across the ER membrane.
Biological function summary
SEC61B assists in the regulation and positioning of the Sec61 translocon complex which includes alpha and gamma subunits. This protein is not a gatekeeper of the channel but rather stabilizes the complex and influences co-translational and post-translational translocation of proteins. It plays roles in maintaining ER homeostasis and facilitating the integration of newly synthesized proteins into the ER membrane affecting various cellular processes such as secretion and membrane biogenesis.
Pathways
SEC61B operates in the protein translocation pathways within the ER membrane. It is integral to the secretory pathway that moves proteins from the cytoplasm into the ER lumen or membrane. Additionally SEC61B interacts with proteins like ribosome-bound signal recognition particle (SRP) to facilitate accurate protein targeting and translocation. It associates with other ER resident proteins to manage polypeptide folding and processing.
SEC61B has connections to conditions that involve protein misfolding and improperly handled ER stress such as cystic fibrosis and certain neurodegenerative diseases. In cystic fibrosis misfolded proteins can trigger ER stress and cause adaptive responses. The involvement of proteins like the SEC61 complex in ameliorating ER stress highlights potential therapeutic targets. Therefore understanding SEC61B function and regulation may provide insights into therapeutic intervention for ER-stress-related disorders.
