SEC62 encodes a membrane protein required for post-translational translocation of secretory precursor proteins into the yeast ER lumen; membranes from sec62 mutant cells display low and labile translocation activity, while cytosol from mutant cells supports normal translocation, demonstrating the defect is membrane-intrinsic. |

Silencing SEC62 in human cells specifically inhibits post-translational transport of signal-peptide-containing precursor proteins into the ER, whereas silencing SEC61A1 inhibits both co- and post-translational transport; Sec63 depletion affects the initial phase of co-translational transport. |

Sec62 is required for efficient post-translational translocation of small proteins (≤100 amino acids) with N-terminal signal sequences in mammalian cells; this Sec62-dependent pathway operates via the Sec61 translocon and requires ATP, functioning as a fail-safe mechanism independent of SRP. |

Sec62 directly interacts with the Sec61 complex in a Ca2+-sensitive manner; a Ca2+-binding motif in Sec62 is essential for its molecular function in regulating Ca2+ leakage through Sec61; SEC62 silencing elevates cytosolic Ca2+ and increases ER Ca2+ leakage after thapsigargin treatment. |

Blocking cotranslational translocation by passenger domain folding stabilizes an alternate translocon complex containing Sec61, Sec62, and Sec63; Sec62/63 stabilization within the translocon also occurs for native endogenous substrates (e.g., prion protein) and correlates with a delay in translocation initiation, demonstrating that Sec62/63 engagement is controlled by the nascent chain. |

Sec62 functions as an ER-resident autophagy receptor during recovery from ER stress (recovER-phagy), selectively delivering ER components to autolysosomes; this requires a conserved LC3-interacting region (LIR) in the C-terminal cytosolic domain of Sec62, which is dispensable for protein translocation function. |

Human Sec62/Sec63 substrates share signal peptides with longer but less hydrophobic hydrophobic regions and lower C-region polarity; a slowly gating signal peptide combined with a downstream positively charged amino acid cluster is decisive for Sec62/Sec63 requirement, and these features also correlate with BiP requirement and sensitivity to the Sec61-channel inhibitor CAM741. |

Cryo-EM structures of Sec61-Sec62-Sec63 complexes from yeast show that Sec63 and Sec62 stepwise activate Sec61 for post-translational translocation: Sec63 first partially opens the lateral gate via cytosolic and luminal domain interactions with Sec61, then Sec62 is required to displace the plug domain to open the translocation pore; Sec62 may also prevent lipids from entering the channel through the open lateral gate. |

Molecular dynamics simulations starting from cryo-EM structures show that Sec62 binding to Sec61 alters the conformational dynamics of the lateral gate, plug, and pore region: the luminal lateral gate adopts a wider (open) conformation when Sec62 is bound, while it closes in the apo state; the signal peptide stabilizes the active state conformation during post-translational translocation. |
