Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells must be folded correctly before translocation out of the ER. Disruption of protein folding results in the induction of genes for ER-resident chaperones, for example, BiP. This phenomenon is known as the ER stress response. We report here that bZIP60, an Arabidopsis thaliana basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor with a transmembrane domain, is involved in the ER stress response. When compared with wild-type Arab ...[more]
