Tisp40, a spermatid specific bZip transcription factor, functions by binding to the unfolded protein response element <i>via</i> the Rip pathway
抄録
<jats:p> <jats:italic>TISP40</jats:italic>, a mouse spermatid‐specific gene, encodes a CREB/CREM family transcription factor that is predominantly expressed during spermiogenesis. We report here that <jats:italic>TISP40</jats:italic> generates two types of proteins, Tisp40α and Tisp40β, both of which contain a transmembrane domain and localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In contrast, mutant proteins lacking the transmembrane domain (Tisp40α/βΔTM) primarily localize to the nucleus. Endoglycosidase H treatment shows that the C‐terminus of Tisp40α/β is glycosylated. Protease experiments demonstrate that Tisp40α/β are Type II transmembrane proteins that are released into the nucleus by a two‐step cleavage mechanism called ‘regulated intramembrane proteolysis’ (Rip). Unlike previously published observations, Tisp40α does not bind to the NF‐κB site; instead, it specifically binds to the unfolded protein response element (UPRE). Luciferase assays reveal that Tisp40βΔTM activates transcription through UPRE. Northern blot analysis shows that Tisp40α/βΔTM proteins up‐regulate <jats:italic>EDEM</jats:italic> (ER degradation of enhancing α‐manosidase‐like protein) mRNA. These observations unveil a novel event in mouse spermiogenesis and show that the final stage of trans‐criptional regulation is controlled by the Rip pathway.</jats:p>
