Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on three bZIP transcription factors (bZIP17, bZIP28, and bZIP60) in Arabidopsis that are important for the unfolded protein response (UPR) and how they respond to spermine.
- - Spermine not only activates the expression of these bZIP genes and their targets but also influences the splicing of bZIP60 and promotes the movement of certain proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus.
- - The research suggests that spermine acts as a novel inducer of UPR in Arabidopsis, requiring calcium influx and involving specific protein kinase pathways (MKK9-MPK3/MPK6) to elicit the response.
