Designing Novel Therapies to Mend Broken Hearts: ATF6 and Cardiac Proteostasis.

The heart exhibits incredible plasticity in response to both environmental and genetic alterations that affect workload. Over the course of development, or in response to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart responds to fluctuations in …

Pharmacologic ATF6 activating compounds are metabolically activated to selectively modify endoplasmic reticulum proteins.

Pharmacologic arm-selective unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway activation is emerging as a promising strategy to ameliorate imbalances in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis implicated in diverse diseases. The small molecule …

Limitation of individual folding resources in the ER leads to outcomes distinct from the unfolded protein response.

ER stress leads to upregulation of multiple folding and quality control components, known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Glucose Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) (also known as binding immunoglobulin protein, BiP, and HSPA5) and GRP94 are often …
