Nucleobindin 1 Controls the Unfolded Protein Response by Inhibiting ATF6 Activation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), an ER membrane-anchored transcription factor, is transported to the Golgi apparatus and cleaved by site-1 protease (S1P) to activate the unfolded protein response (UPR). Here, we identified nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1) as a novel repressor of the S1P-mediated ATF6 activation. NUCB1 is an ER stress-inducible gene with the promoter region having functional cis-elements for transcriptional activation by ATF6. Overexpression of NUCB1 inhibits S1P-mediated ATF6 cleavage without affecting ER-to-Golgi transport of ATF6, whereas knock-down of NUCB1 by siRNA accelerates ATF6 cleavage during ER stress. NUCB1 protein localizes in the Golgi apparatus, and disruption of the Golgi localization results in loss of the ATF6-inhibitiory activity. Consistent with these observations, NUCB1 can suppress physical interaction of S1P-ATF6 during ER stress. Together, our results demonstrate that NUCB1 is the first-identified, Golgi-localized negative feedback regulator in the ATF6-mediated branch of the UPR.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
