abstract = {The Sec translocon provides the lipid bilayer entry for
ribosome‐bound nascent chains and thus facilitates
membrane protein biogenesis. Despite the appreciated role of
the native environment in the translocon:ribosome assembly,
structural information on the complex in the lipid membrane
is scarce. Here, we present a cryo‐electron
microscopy‐based structure of bacterial translocon SecYEG
in lipid nanodiscs and elucidate an early intermediate state
upon insertion of the FtsQ anchor domain. Insertion of the
short nascent chain causes initial displacements within the
lateral gate of the translocon, where α‐helices 2b, 7,
and 8 tilt within the membrane core to “unzip” the gate
at the cytoplasmic side. Molecular dynamics simulations
demonstrate that the conformational change is reversed in
the absence of the ribosome, and suggest that the accessory
α‐helices of SecE subunit modulate the lateral gate
conformation. Site‐specific cross‐linking validates that
the FtsQ nascent chain passes the lateral gate upon
insertion. The structure and the biochemical data suggest
that the partially inserted nascent chain remains highly
flexible until it acquires the transmembrane topology.},
