Directionality of protein traffic during secretion is driven by sorting receptors that bind cargo in one compartment and release them in another. Erv14/cornichon family receptors mediate delivery from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi. Erv14 traffics its client, Mid2, via a conserved interface formed by two transmembrane helices (TMHs). Molecular dynamics simulations of Erv14-Mid2 suggest that Erv14 TMHs undergo dynamic movement in response to both client binding and lipid bilayer thickness. Interaction between charged residues that flank the TMHs of Mid2 and Erv14 couple client binding to stabilization of the Erv14 export signal and thus engagement with the COPII coat. We term this mechanism Helix Engagement Induced Signal-mediated Traffic (HEIST) and suggest it as a general mechanism where changes in membrane biophysical properties drive directional transport.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
