This study reveals that the endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex (EMC) plays a positive regulatory role in the surface trafficking and function of endogenous gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptors. The EMC3 and EMC6 subunits of EMC have the most significant impact and can restore the function of epilepsy-associated GABA(A) receptor variants. Furthermore, EMC3 and EMC6 interact with major neuroreceptors, suggesting a general role of the EMC in the biogenesis of neuroreceptors.
The endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex (EMC) plays a critical role in the biogenesis of tail-anchored proteins and a subset of multi-pass membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, because of nearly exclusive expression of neurotransmitter-gated ion channels in the central nervous system (CNS), the role of the EMC in their biogenesis is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrated that the EMC positively regulates the surface trafficking and thus function of endogenous gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptors, the primary inhibitory ion channels in the mammalian brain. Moreover, among ten EMC subunits, EMC3 and EMC6 have the most prominent effect, and overexpression of EMC3 or EMC6 is sufficient to restore the function of epilepsy-associated GABA(A) receptor variants. In addition, EMC3 and EMC6 demonstrate endogenous interactions with major neuroreceptors, which depends on their transmembrane domains, suggesting a general role of the EMC in the biogenesis of neuroreceptors.
