Endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex subunit 6 (EMC6) plays an important function in both physiological and pathological states of cells. Nevertheless, there are few studies focused on the role of EMC6 in tumors. At first, we performed a series of bioinformatics analyses on 33 kinds of cancers, including differential expression analysis, tumor mutational burden analysis, prognostic analysis, and clinicopathological staging analysis. Then, we corroborated the important role of EMC6 in lung cancer by cytological and experiments. We found that the reduction of EMC6 expression did effectively inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of A549. Finally, EMC6 is indeed involved in the regulation of ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and immune response in LUAD. In a word, our study not only comprehensively analyzed the functional mechanisms of EMC6 in all cancers but also validated the regulatory role of EMC6 in lung cancer for the first time.

Ubiquitin A-52 residue ribosomal protein fusion product 1 (UBA52) has a role in the occurrence and development of tumours. However, the mechanism by which UBA52 regulates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumorigenesis and progression remains poorly understood. By using the Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8), colony formation, wound healing and Transwell assays, we assessed the effects of UBA52 knockdown and overexpression on the proliferation and migration of HCC cells in vitro.

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 γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA) receptors, the primary inhibitory ion channels in the mammalian brain.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of membrane protein insertion, folding, and assembly in eukaryotes. Over the past few years, a combination of genetic and biochemical studies have implicated an abundant factor termed the ER membrane protein complex (EMC) in several aspects of membrane protein biogenesis. This large nine-protein complex is built around a deeply conserved core formed by the EMC3-EMC6 subcomplex.
