Opposing roles for ATF6alpha and ATF6beta in endoplasmic reticulum stress response gene induction.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane proteins, ATF6alpha and ATF6beta, are cleaved in response to ER stress, which can be induced by tunicamycin. The resulting N-terminal fragments of both ATF6 isoforms, which have conserved basic …
