Scleral PERK and ATF6 as targets of myopic axial elongation of mouse eyes
Axial length is the primary determinant of eye size, and it is elongated in myopia. However, the underlying mechanism of the onset and progression of axial elongation remain unclear.

Gremlin-1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell Metastasis by Activating ATF6 and Inhibiting ATF4 Pathways
Cancer cell survival, function and fate strongly depend on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis. Although previous studies have implicated the ER stress signaling network in all stages of cancer development, its role in cancer metastasis remains to be

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Macular maldevelopment inATF6-mediated retinal dysfunction [PDF]
Background: Achromatopsia has been previously associated with mutations in the ATF6 gene. Rod-monochromatism, foveal hypoplasia, and disruption of the subfoveal photoreceptor layer are described as phenotypical features. We report detailed structural and electrophysiological assessment of two patients from two families, one manifesting severe macular ...

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 ...
