- Description
- atf-5 encodes a homolog of the mammalian bZIP transcription factors ATF4 and ATF5, analogous to GCN4 in S. cerevisiae; like like ATF4 and GCN4, atf-5 has an extensive 5' UTR with one 37-residue uORF; ATF4 is poorly translated in unstressed cells but well-translated during ER stress, amino acid starvation, or arsenite treatment; possibly atf-5 is also translationally regulated in a way similar to ATF4.
