The testes‐specific bZip type transcription factor <i>Tisp40</i> plays a role in ER stress responses and chromatin packaging during spermiogenesis
31 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that the spermatid-specific transcription factor Tisp40 functions through UPRE and CRE. To investigate Tisp40 function in vivo, we generated TISP40(-/-) mice. TISP40(-/-) mice were born at expected ratios, were healthy, and mutant males bred normally. However, the ER stress-response protein Grp78/BiP accumulated in the TISP40(-/-) testis and RAMP4 (Ribosome-associated membrane protein 4)...
