Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research
Protein translocation through translocon on the endoplasmic reticulum in the eukaryotic cells is one of the most critical bases to maintain the life of the cells. The challenge in this project was to establish the experimental system by which the movement of the polypeptide chain through translocon can be observed at the single molecule level. We have set up the system in which we can observe protein translocation synchronously across the membrane and found that only 2-3 positively charged amino acid residues slow down the movement through translocon.
