Model constructing, refinement and validation

The human 60S subunit from PDB ID 6ZMI and the A/P- and P/E-site tRNAs from PDB ID 6W6L have been used as beginning fashions for the ribosome. The TRAP complicated from PDB ID 8RJC³⁰ (mutated to human) and the OST-A fancy from PDB ID 8B6L²⁹ have been used as beginning fashions for the secretory translocon.

Initial fashions for the remaining translocon elements (FKBP11, CCDC134 and KCP2) and the GRP94 nascent chain have been generated utilizing the ColabFold2 (ref. ⁷⁶) implementation of AlphaFold2 multimer v3 (ref. ⁷⁷), as described beneath (Extended Data Fig. 4). Protein sequences have been obtained from UniProt⁷⁸.

The high quality of every AlphaFold2 multimer prediction was initially assessed by the expected local-distance distinction take a look at (pLDDT), which offers a per-residue confidence rating for every subunit, the expected aligned error (PAE), which offers a confidence measure of the expected protein–protein interface(s), and by the general (pTM) and interface (ipTM) predicted TM scores. The AlphaFold2 complexes have been additionally validated by their match to the experimental density, comparability with beforehand decided constructions and mutational evaluation. Low-confidence areas not supported by the cryo-EM density have been faraway from the mannequin.

All maps have been used for mannequin constructing.

GRP94 residues 63–92 are predicted by AlphaFold2 to type a single prolonged helix (‘bridge helix’), in wonderful settlement with the experimental cryo-EM density. GRP94 residues 22–72 have been eliminated and the two-subunit complicated was adjusted utilizing tightly restrained real-space refinement in Coot.

Finally, the globular N-domain of GRP94 was docked into low-resolution density adjoining to CCDC134. Placement was guided by the central helical factor of the N-domain and its β-sheet. No density was seen within the GRP94 nucleotide binding website or for the dynamic active-site ‘lid’, which was faraway from the mannequin. Similarly, no density was seen for the GRP94 ‘charged linker’ motif or for the M- and C-domains. The remaining GRP94 mannequin (residues 22–283) was adjusted as a single complicated with CCDC134, FKBP11, DC2 and STT3A utilizing tightly restrained real-space refinement in Coot.

The translocon mannequin was subjected to real-space refinement in PHENIX⁸⁰ alone (versus Map 1) or after combining with the 60S mannequin (versus Map 2). Five rounds of worldwide minimization and group B-factor refinement have been carried out with Ramachandran and rotamer restraints (rotamer outliers have been fastened utilizing the match choice ‘outliers’ and the goal was set to ‘fix_outliers’), reference mannequin restraints (beginning mannequin) and hydrogen-bonding, base-pair and stacking parallelity restraints utilized to the rRNA. Secondary construction restraints have been turned off. Final mannequin statistics for the translocon and the 60S-translocon fashions are supplied in Extended Data Table 1.

For evaluation of GRP94 mutants in HEK293 cells, wild-type Flp-In T-REx 293 cells have been seeded onto a six-well plate at a density of 200,000 cells per properly someday earlier than transfection. A transfection combination was ready containing 1 μg pcDNA5-SS-3xFLAG-GRP94, 150 μl Opti-MEM and three μl TransIT293, which was incubated at room temperature for 20 min earlier than including dropwise to every properly. After 24 h, cells have been collected utilizing chilly 1× PBS and centrifuged at 500g for five min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded and cells have been resuspended in 100 μl lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 0.5 mM PMSF). Samples have been incubated on ice for 15 min (with vortexing each 5 min) and the supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 20,000g for 10 min at 4 °C. Samples have been analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting.
