TAIR Curator Summary | bZIP60 consists of a bZIP DNA binding domain followed by a putative transmembrane domain. bZIP60 mRNA is upregulated by the addition of ER stress inducers, tunicamycin (inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation), DTT (inhibitor of disulfide bond formation) and azetin-2-carboxylate (proline analog perturbing protein structure). Upon ER stress, bZIP60 mRNA is spliced by IRE1A and IRE1B to produce bZIP60-S, an active transcription factor without the transmembrane domain. bZIP60-U, a product of unspliced form of bZIP60 mRNA, is localized at the ER membrane and bZIP60-S is localized in the nucleus. |
