Protein folding in the living cell begins cotranslationally. To analyze how it is influenced by the ribosome and by the translocon complex during translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum, we expressed a mutant influenza hemagglutinin (a type I membrane glycoprotein) with a C-terminal extension. Analysis of the nascent chains by two-dimensional SDS-PAGE showed that ribosome attachment as such had little effect on ectodomain folding or trimer assembly. However, as long as the chains were ribosome bound and inside the translocon complex, formation of disulfides was partially suppressed, trimerization was inhibited, and the protein protected against aggregation.
