ATF6 (Activating Transcription Factor 6, Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF6) is a stress activated leucine zipper transcription factor involved in activating transcription of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecules in response to accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. ATF6 is originally a 90 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is converted to a 50 kDa soluble nuclear form, retaining its N-terminal domain, including the leucine zipper. Unfolded protein accumulation in the ER results in the cleavage of ATF6 to release its cytoplasmic domain that then enters the nucleus. ATF6 binds to an element designated ER Stress Response Element (ERSA) that appears in the promoter of glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs) such as GRP78, GPR94, and calreticulin.

GSD Ia (von Gierke Disease, Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia) is a devastating genetic disorder with long-term sequelae, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and renal failure. Down-regulated autophagy is involved in the development of hepatic metabolic dysfunction in GSD
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is present due to mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, the most frequent variant being p.phe508del. The CFTR protein is a chloride (Cl-) channel which is defective and almost absent of cell membranes
Nε-lysine acetylation in the ER lumen is a recently discovered quality control mechanism that ensures proteostasis within the secretory pathway. The acetyltransferase reaction is carried out by two type-II membrane proteins, ATase1/NAT8B and ATase2/NAT8. Prior studies have shown that reducing
