Tail-anchored (TA) proteins, a class of membrane proteins having an N-terminal cytoplasmic region anchored to the membrane by a single C-terminal transmembrane domain, are posttranslationally inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. In yeasts, the posttranslational membrane insertion is mediated by the Guided Entry of TA Proteins (GET) complex. Get3, a cytosolic ATPase, targets newly synthesized TA proteins to the ER membrane, where Get2 and Get3 constitute the Get3 receptor driving the membrane insertion. While mammalian cells employ TRC40 and WRB, mammalian homologs of Get3 and Get1, respectively, they lack the gene homologous to Get2. We recently identified calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand (CAML) as a TRC40 receptor, indicating that CAML was equivalent to Get2 in the context of the membrane insertion. On the other hand, CAML has been well characterized as a signaling molecule that regulates various biological processes, raising the question of how the two distinct actions of CAML, the membrane insertion and the signal transduction, are assembled. In this review, we summarize recent progress of the molecular mechanism of the membrane insertion of TA proteins and discuss the possibility that CAML could sense the various signals at the ER membrane, thereby controlling TA protein biogenesis.
