A defining step in the biogenesis of a membrane protein is the insertion of its hydrophobic transmembrane helices into the lipid bilayer. The nine-subunit ER membrane protein complex (EMC) is a conserved co- and post-translational insertase at the endoplasmic reticulum. We determined the structure of the human EMC in a lipid nanodisc to an overall resolution of 3.4 Å by cryo-electron microscopy, permitting building of a nearly complete atomic model. We used structure-guided mutagenesis to demonstrate that substrate insertion requires a methionine-rich cytosolic loop and occurs via an enclosed hydrophilic vestibule formed by the subunits EMC3 and EMC6 within the membrane. We propose that the EMC uses local membrane thinning and a positively charged patch to decrease the energetic barrier for insertion into the bilayer. The structure of the human ER membrane protein complex provides insights into the mechanism of membrane protein biogenesis at the endoplasmic reticulum.
