  • Cells respond to an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by increasing transcription of genes encoding molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. The information is transmitted from the ER lumen to the nucleus by intracellular signaling pathway, called the unfolded protein response (UPR). To obtain genes related to UPR from B. mori, the cDNA library was constructed with mRNA isolated from Bm5 cell lines in which N-glycosylation was inhibited by tunicamycin treatment. From the cDNA library, we selected 40 clones that differentially expressed when cells were treated with tunicamycin. Among these clones, we have isolated ATFC gene showing similarity with Hac1p, encoding a bZIP transcription factor of 5. cerevisiae. Basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) domain in amino acid sequences of ATFC shared homology with yeast Hac1p. Also, ATFC is up-regulated by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER through the treatment of ER stress drugs. Therefore we suggest that ATFC represents a major component of the putative transcription factor responsible for the UPR leading to the induction of ER-localized stress proteins.

  • Cells respond to an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by increasing transcription of genes encoding molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. The information is transmitted from the ER lumen to the nucleus by intracellular signaling pathway, called the unfolded protein response (UPR). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, such induction is mediated by the cis-acting unfolded response element (UPRE) which has been thought to be recognized by Hac1p transcription factor. We cloned the ATFC gene showing similarity with Hac1p, and then examined to determine whether ATFC gene product specifically binds to UPRE by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. ATFC gene product displayed appreciable binding ${to ^{32}}P-labelled$ UPRE. Therefore, we concluded that ATFC represents a major component of the putative transcription factor responsible for the UPR leading to the induction of ER-localized stress proteins.

  • We describe here the identification of a transcription factor, ATFC that regulates the UPR by binding to the UPRE only when the signaling pathway is activated. The data in this study cover the first set of results, showing that ATFC has a major role in the insect UPR. (omitted)
