Designing Novel Therapies to Mend Broken Hearts: ATF6 and Cardiac Proteostasis

open access: yesCells, 2020
The heart exhibits incredible plasticity in response to both environmental and genetic alterations that affect workload. Over the course of development, or in response to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart responds to fluctuations in ...

Activating transcription factor (ATF) 6 upregulates cystathionine β synthetase (CBS) expression and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) synthesis to ameliorate liver metabolic damage

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) is an endoplasmic reticulum stress responsive gene. We previously reported that conditional knockout of hepatic ATF6 exacerbated liver metabolic damage by repressing autophagy through mTOR pathway.

ATF6 aggravates angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling during ankylosing spondylitis by mediating FGF2 expression in chondrocytes

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Although angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling is important in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), therapeutic agents targeting the vasculature remain elusive.

Establishment and validation of an endoplasmic reticulum stress reporter to monitor zebrafish ATF6 activity in development and disease

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with diverse developmental and degenerative diseases. Modified ER homeostasis causes activation of conserved stress pathways at the ER called the unfolded protein response (UPR).

ATF6 is required for efficient rhodopsin clearance and retinal homeostasis in the P23H rho retinitis pigmentosa mouse model

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a blinding disease that arises from loss of rods and subsequently cones. The P23H rhodopsin knock-in (P23H-KI) mouse develops retinal degeneration that mirrors RP phenotype in patients carrying the orthologous variant ...

VAPB interacts with and modulates the activity of ATF6 [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2008
A mis-sense point mutation in the human VAPB gene is associated with a familial form of motor neuron disease that has been classified as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis type VIII. Affected individuals suffer from a spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or an atypical slowly progressing form of ALS. Mammals have two homologous

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

Pharmacological Activating Transcription Factor 6 Activation Is Beneficial for Liver Retrieval With ex vivo Normothermic Mechanical Perfusion From Cardiac Dead Donor Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery, 2021
Background: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) could be beneficial for organ retrieval from donors after cardiac death (DCD). Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) was recently shown to mitigate liver ischemia/reperfusion injury and confer ...

Interaction of ATF6 and serum response factor [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 1997
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

Coordination of ATF6-mediated Transcription and ATF6 Degradation by a Domain That Is Shared with the Viral Transcription Factor, VP16 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
ATF6 is a 670-amino acid endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane protein that is cleaved in response to ER stress. The resulting N-terminal fragment of approximately 400 amino acids translocates to the nucleus and activates selected ER stress-inducible genes, such as GRP-78 and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase, which are required for cell survival ...
