Activating transcription factor 6 is necessary and sufficient for alcoholic fatty liver disease in zebrafish. [PDF]
Fatty liver disease (FLD) is characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and is accompanied by secretory pathway dysfunction, resulting in induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Interaction of ATF6 and serum response factor [PDF]
Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor which binds to the serum response element (SRE) in the c-fos promoter. It is required for regulated expression of the c-fos gene as well as other immediate-early genes and some tissue-specific genes. To better understand the regulation of SRF, we used a yeast interaction assay to screen a human HeLa

Molecular mechanisms involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress development: What do we know today [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intracellular organelle involved in protein synthesis and folding. When the balance between cell needs for proteins and ER capacity to fold proteins is disrupted, nonfunctional, unfolded, or misfolded proteins accumulate ...

IL-6/STAT3 Induced Neuron Apoptosis in Hypoxia by Downregulating ATF6 Expression
Background: Neuron apoptosis, regulated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the hippocampus, is an essential factor influencing the cognitive impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia.

The ATF6-Met [67] Val substitution is associated with increased plasma cholesterol levels [PDF]
Objective— Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) is a sensor of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response and regulates expression of several key lipogenic genes.

Achromatopsia mutations target sequential steps of ATF6 activation [PDF]
Significance The unfolded protein response regulator activating transcription factor 6 ( ATF6 ) was recently identified as a novel genetic cause of the cone photoreceptor disease achromatopsia. ATF6 upregulates genes that help cells cope with endoplasmic reticulum stress.

ZIKV infection activates the IRE1-XBP1 and ATF6 pathways of unfolded protein response in neural cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many viruses depend on the extensive membranous network of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their translation, replication, and packaging. Certain membrane modifications of the ER can be a trigger for ER stress, as well as the accumulation ...

Next-generation proteasome inhibitor oprozomib synergizes with modulators of the unfolded protein response to suppress hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) responds poorly to conventional systemic therapies. The first-in-class proteasome inhibitor bortezomib has been approved in clinical use for hematologic malignancies and has shown modest activity in solid tumors, including ...

Mechanisms of selenomethionine developmental toxicity and the impacts of combined hypersaline conditions on Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). [PDF]
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that can cause embryotoxicty at levels 7-30 times above essential concentrations. Exposure to hypersaline conditions and 50 μM selenomethionine (SeMet) decreased embryo hatch and depleted glutathione in ...

Characterization of key triacylglycerol biosynthesis processes in rhodococci. [PDF]
Oleaginous microorganisms have considerable potential for biofuel and commodity chemical production. Under nitrogen-limitation, Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 grown on benzoate, an analog of lignin depolymerization products, accumulated triacylglycerols (TAGs ...
