Lanes 1 - 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab122897 observed at 95 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602, observed at 37 kDa.

ab122897 was shown to specifically recact with ATF6 in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additional cross-reactive bands. No band was observed when ATF6 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and ATF6 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab122897 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/500 dilution and 1/10,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Activating Transcription Factor 6 (ATF6) also known as ATF 6 is a significant protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. The ATF6 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 84 kDa. It expresses predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plays a critical role in the unfolded protein response (UPR). During ER stress ATF6 relocates to the Golgi apparatus where it undergoes cleavage to become an active transcription factor. This process helps the cell to manage the accumulation of unfolded proteins.
Biological function summary

ATF6 operates as part of the transcription regulation mechanisms responding to ER stress. The ATF6 protein is essential in managing the expression of chaperone genes and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) components thereby maintaining protein homeostasis. ATF6 itself does not operate within a traditional complex but its activation involves proteolytic cleavage which subsequently releases the active form to the nucleus where it influences gene expression to alleviate stress conditions.

Pathways

ATF6 is prominently involved in the unfolded protein response pathway which manages cell survival and stress adaptation. This pathway closely interacts with other proteins like IRE1 and PERK forming a network that modulates the transcription of UPR target genes. Additionally ATF6 contributes to checkpoint control pathways that stabilize cellular environment by regulating genes related to chaperone and protein folding.

Malfunction or dysregulation of ATF6 links to conditions like diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In diabetes improper ATF6 function affects insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis often alongside proteins such as XBP1. In neurodegenerative diseases an inappropriate response to ER stress influences the progression of disorders like Alzheimer's disease where protein misfolding and aggregation play pivotal roles. Understanding how ATF6 interplays with these diseases could lead to new therapeutic avenues.

Target data

Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 alpha. Precursor of the transcription factor form (Processed cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 alpha), which is embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (PubMed : 10564271, PubMed : 11158310, PubMed : 11779464). Endoplasmic reticulum stress promotes processing of this form, releasing the transcription factor form that translocates into the nucleus, where it activates transcription of genes involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) (PubMed : 10564271, PubMed : 11158310, PubMed : 11779464).. Processed cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-6 alpha. Transcription factor that initiates the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating transcription of genes involved in the UPR (PubMed : 10564271, PubMed : 11158310, PubMed : 11163209, PubMed : 11779464). Binds DNA on the 5'-CCAC[GA]-3'half of the ER stress response element (ERSE) (5'-CCAAT-N(9)-CCAC[GA]-3') and of ERSE II (5'-ATTGG-N-CCACG-3') (PubMed : 10564271, PubMed : 11158310, PubMed : 11779464). Binding to ERSE requires binding of NF-Y to ERSE. Could also be involved in activation of transcription by the serum response factor (PubMed : 10564271, PubMed : 11158310, PubMed : 11779464). May play a role in foveal development and cone function in the retina (PubMed : 26029869).
