Characterization of an alternative transcript of the human CREB3L2 gene.

Abstract
CREB3L2, a member of the CREB3 family of transcription factors, spans >120 kbp and is composed of 12 exons. We characterized a widely expressed transcript of CREB3L2 generated by an intronic polyadenylation site in intron 4 of the gene. It could be translated to a CREB3L2 variant which is localized both in the nucleus and the endoplasmatic reticulum. The protein retains the N-terminal transactivation domain but lacks the DNA-binding domain, the transmembrane domain and the C-terminal part. Experiments using a GAL4 DNA-binding domain fusion model showed that the transcript is a transactivator but it cannot exert its function through the CRE and ATF6 binding sites and has little effect on the GRP78 promoter. Whether this transcript has a... (More)

Whether this transcript has a cellular function or is targeted for degradation by nonsense-mediated RNA decay system of RNA surveillance is currently unknown. (Less)
