Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionatf-6 is an ortholog of mammalian ATF6alpha, a proximal sensor requiredfor the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER);ATF6alpha is a transmembrane protein, with a bZIP transcription factordomain in its cytosolic amino terminus that is released and activated byproteolytic cleavage upon ER stress; either ire-1 or xbp-1 deletions aresynthetically lethal with atf-6 or pek-1 deletions, producing arrest in L2larvae; RNAi of Y56A3A.2 (a S2P protease homolog) is synthetically lethalwith ire-1(RNAi), consistent with the hypothesis that Y56A3A.2 cleavesATF-6; atf-6 regulates few genes that are transcriptionally induced byUPR, but regulates roughly one-quarter of genes that require UPRconstitutively; pdr-1 transcripts are strongly upregulated in aatf-6(ok551) mutant background, but atf-6(ok551);pdr-1(lg103) doublemutants have a grossly normal phenotype ; atf-6 is dispensable for properlocalization of GLR-1 glutamate receptors.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024285

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response; determination of adult lifespan; and endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including intestine; muscle cell; pharyngeal gland cell; rectum; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 7. Is an ortholog of human ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6) and ATF6B (activating transcription factor 6 beta).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (59)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
