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 ...

ATF6-mediated signaling contributes to PARP Inhibitor Resistance in Ovarian Cancer.
High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the deadliest ovarian cancer histotype due in-part to the lack of therapeutic options for chemotherapy resistant disease. Poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) represent a targeted treatment.

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.

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 ...

Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Upregulates STING to Activate ATF6-Mediated Autophagy
PPRV infection induces cellular autophagy; however, the intracellular responses and signaling mechanisms that occur upon PPRV infection are obscure, and whether innate immune responses are linked with autophagy to regulate viral replication is largely ...

The Luminal Domain of ATF6 Senses Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress and Causes Translocation of ATF6 from the ER to the Golgi [PDF]
ATF6 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane transcription factor that is activated by the ER stress/unfolded protein response by cleavage of its N-terminal half from the membrane. We find that ER stress induces ATF6 to move from the ER to the Golgi, where it is cut in its luminal domain by site 1 protease.

How are proteins reduced in the endoplasmic reticulum? [PDF]
The reversal of thiol oxidation in proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein folding, degradation, chaperone function, and the ER stress response. Our understanding of this process is generally poor but progress has been made.

Uterine Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Its Unfolded Protein Response May Regulate Caspase 3 Activation in the Pregnant Mouse Uterus [PDF]
We have previously proposed that uterine caspase-3 may modulate uterine contractility in a gestationally regulated fashion. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanism by which uterine caspase-3 is activated and consequently controlled in ...
