Millimolar concentrations of lanthanum ions simultaneously restricted the dynamics of the Sec61 channel and inhibited translocation of polypeptides. Molecular modeling indicates that lanthanum binding sites cluster at the putative lateral gate of the Sec61 complex and suggests that structural flexibility of the lateral gate is essential for channel and protein transport activities of the Sec61 complex.
