SOP4 [YJL192C]
Suppressor of PMA1-7 protein 4; ER-membrane protein; subunit of evolutionarily conserved EMC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Complex) implicated in ERAD (ER-associated degradation) and proper assembly of multi-pass transmembrane (TM) proteins; EMC acts in yeast as an ER-mitochondria tether that interacts with outer membrane protein Tom5 of TOM (Translocase of the Mitochondrial Outer Membrane) complex; suppressor of pma1-7, deletion of SOP4 slows down export of wild-type Pma1p and Pma1-7 from the ER
Synonyms: SOP4, SOP4p, P39543, J0351, P39543p ...
