Human Gene SSR1 (uc003mxf.4)
  Description: Homo sapiens signal sequence receptor, alpha (SSR1), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_003144): The signal sequence receptor (SSR) is a glycosylated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane receptor associated with protein translocation across the ER membrane. The SSR consists of 2 subunits, a 34-kD glycoprotein encoded by this gene and a 22-kD glycoprotein. This gene generates several mRNA species as a result of complex alternative polyadenylation. This gene is unusual in that it utilizes arrays of polyA signal sequences that are mostly non-canonical. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

  ID: SSRA_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Translocon-associated protein subunit alpha; Short=TRAP-alpha; AltName: Full=Signal sequence receptor subunit alpha; Short=SSR-alpha; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: TRAP proteins are part of a complex whose function is to bind calcium to the ER membrane and thereby regulate the retention of ER resident proteins. May be involved in the recycling of the translocation apparatus after completion of the translocation process or may function as a membrane-bound chaperone facilitating folding of translocated proteins.
SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer of TRAP-alpha, TRAP-beta, TRAP-delta and TRAP-gamma. Interacts with palmitoylated calnexin (CALX), the interaction is required for efficient folding of glycosylated proteins.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
DOMAIN: Shows a remarkable charge distribution with the N-terminus being highly negatively charged, and the cytoplasmic C-terminus positively charged.
MISCELLANEOUS: Seems to bind calcium.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TRAP-alpha family.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAI16444.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction;

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
