“…ATF6 induces the expression of 73 many ER proteostasis factors including the ATP-dependent ER HSP70 BiP and multiple protein disulfide 74 isomerases (PDIs) (Haze, Yoshida et al, 1999, Shoulders, Ryno et al, 2013. Genetic activation of ATF6 using 75 a ligand-regulated system preferentially reduces secretion and subsequent aggregation of a destabilized, 76 amyloidogenic LC from HEK293T cells, without impacting the secretion of a non-amyloidogenic LC, fully-77 assembled IgGs, or the endogenous secretory proteome (Cooley, Ryno et al, 2014, Plate, Rius et al, 2019, 78 Shoulders et al, 2013. Interestingly, the ATF6-dependent reduction in amyloidogenic LC secretion results 79 from increased interactions with ER chaperones and PDIs, which preferentially retain the amyloidogenic LC 80 within the ER and prevent its secretion to downstream secretory environments .…”
