Molecular Symbiosis of CHOP and C/EBPβ Isoform LIP Contributes to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Apoptosis
18 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Induction of the transcription factor CHOP (CCAAT-binding homologous protein; GADD 153) is a critical cellular response for the transcriptional control of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis. Upon nuclear translocation, CHOP upregulates the transcription of proapoptotic factors and downregulates antiapoptotic genes. Transcriptional activation by CHOP involves heterodimerization with other members...
