ATF6 Is a Transcription Factor Specializing in the Regulation of Quality Control Proteins in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic cells cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), a coordinated system of transcriptional and translational controls, which ensures the integrity of synthesized proteins. Mammalian cells express three UPR transducers in the ER, namely IRE1, PERK and ATF6. The IRE1 pathway, which is conserved from yeast to humans, mediates transcriptional induction of...
