| Research Abstract |
A membrane-bound transcription factor ATF6 is activated by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We previously found that p45, a membrane protein localized in the ER, binds to ATF6 in response to the accumulation of unfolded proteins. In this study, we obtained following results.
(1) We found that the p45-homologous protein, p50, also binds to ATF6 in the ER stress dependent manner, and that p45 and p50 bind to ATF6 through their N-terminal regions. (2) We established p50-deficient cells using the chicken DT40 cell line. (3) We established a system to identify components of ATF6 complex by mass spectrometry.
