Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Plant RF2-like transcription factors: a DNA-binding and ...
213-262 1.13e-23

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Plant RF2-like transcription factors: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; This subfamily is composed of plant bZIP transciption factors with similarity to Oryza sativa RF2a and RF2b, which are important for plant development. They interact with, as homodimers or heterodimers with each other, and activate transcription from the RTBV (rice tungro bacilliform virus) promoter, which is regulated by sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that bind to the essential cis element BoxII. RF2a and RF2b show differences in binding affinities to BoxII, expression patterns in different rice organs, and subcellular localization. Transgenic rice with increased RF2a and RF2b display increased resistance to rice tungro disease (RTD) with no impact on plant development. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain. Dimerization of leucine zippers creates a pair of the adjacent basic regions that bind DNA and undergo conformational change. Dimerization occurs in a specific and predictable manner resulting in hundreds of dimers having unique effects on transcription.

HAP1 N-terminal conserved region; This family represents an N-terminal conserved region found in several huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1) homologs. HAP1 binds to huntingtin in a polyglutamine repeat-length-dependent manner. However, its possible role in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease is unclear. This family also includes a similar N-terminal conserved region from hypothetical protein products of ALS2CR3 genes found in the human juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis critical region 2q33-2q34.

212-262 5.90e-05

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Jun proteins and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; Jun is a member of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, which is mainly composed of Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) dimers of the Jun and Fos families, and to a lesser extent, the activating transcription factor (ATF) and musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (Maf) families. The broad combinatorial possibilities for various dimers determine binding specificity, affinity, and the spectrum of regulated genes. The AP-1 complex is implicated in many cell functions including proliferation, apoptosis, survival, migration, tumorigenesis, and morphogenesis, among others. There are three Jun proteins: c-Jun, JunB, and JunD. c-Jun is the most potent transcriptional activator of the AP-1 proteins. Both c-Jun and JunB are essential during development; deletion of either results in embryonic lethality in mice. c-Jun is essential in hepatogenesis and liver erythropoiesis, while JunB is required in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in extraembryonic tissues. While JunD is dispensable in embryonic development, it is involved in transcription regulation of target genes that help cells to cope with environmental signals. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

212-264 5.05e-04

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Fungal HAC1-like transcription factors: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; HAC1 (also called Hac1p or HacA) is a bZIP transcription factor that plays a critical role in the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is initiated by the ER-resident protein kinase and endonuclease IRE1, which promotes non-conventional splicing of the HAC1 mRNA, facilitating its translation. HAC1 binds to and activates promoters of genes that encode chaperones and other targets of the UPR. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of Activating Transcription Factor-6 (ATF-6) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; ATF-6 is a type I membrane-bound Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that binds to the consensus ER stress response element (ERSE) and enhances the transcription of genes encoding glucose-regulated proteins Grp78, Grp94, and calreticulum. ATF-6 is one of three sensors of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in metazoans; the others being the kinases Ire1 and PERK. It contains an ER-lumenal domain that detects unfolded proteins. In response to ER stress, ATF-6 translocates from the ER to the Golgi with simultaneous cleavage in a process called regulated intramembrane proteolysis (Rip) to its transcriptionally competent form, which enters the nucleus and upregulates target UPR genes. The three UPR sensor branches cross-communicate to form a signaling network. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) and similar proteins: a DNA-binding and dimerization domain; XBP1, a member of the Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family, is the key transcription factor that orchestrates the unfolded protein response (UPR). It is the most conserved component of the UPR and is critical for cell fate determination in response to ER stress. The inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)-XBP1 pathway is one of the three major sensors at the ER membrane that initiates the UPR upon activation. IRE1, a type I transmembrane protein kinase and endoribonuclease, oligomerizes upon ER stress leading to its increased activity. It splices the XBP1 mRNA, producing a variant that translocates to the nucleus and activates its target genes, which are involved in protein folding, degradation, and trafficking. bZIP factors act in networks of homo and heterodimers in the regulation of a diverse set of cellular processes. The bZIP structural motif contains a basic region and a leucine zipper, composed of alpha helices with leucine residues 7 amino acids apart, which stabilize dimerization with a parallel leucine zipper domain.
