In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the fidelity of protein synthesis is safeguarded by ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). This pathway retrotranslocates aberrant polypeptides from the ER to the cytosol for degradation by the proteasome [1]. In S. cerevisiae, several membrane-embedded ubiquitin ligases are responsible for ubiquitination of retrotranslocated products: Hrd1 ubiquitinates substrates bearing misfolded domains in the lumen and membranes; Doa10 deals with substrates carrying a misfolded cytosolic domain [2, 3]. A key, yet poorly-defined step in ERAD is the translocation of polypeptide across the membrane, postulated to occur through conduits formed by ubiquitin ligases such as Hrd1 [4]. In a recent issue of Cell, Baldridge and Rapoport demonstrate that Hrd1 is indeed a protein retrotranslocation channel [5].To reconstitute a reaction that simulates closely the retrotranslocation process, Baldridge generated CPY* variants carrying a transmembrane segment from either Pdr5 or Spt23 (referred to as CPY*-TMs). Similar to CPY*[6], CPY*-TMs were degraded by Hrd1 in cells, and in vitro, only CPY*-TMs, but not the folded counterparts could be efficiently ubiquitinated by Hrd1 in detergent. Importantly, CPY*-TMs could be efficiently incorporated into
