Nrf1D Is the First Candidate Secretory Transcription Factor in the Blood Plasma, Its Precursor Existing as a Unique Redox-Sensitive Transmembrane CNC-bZIP Protein in Hemopoietic and Somatic Tissues

Among multiple distinct isoforms, Nrf1D is synthesized from a de novo translation of an alternatively-spliced transcript of Nrf1 mRNA, as accompanied by a naturally-occurring deletion of its stop codon-flanking 1466 nucleotides. This molecular event leads to the generation of a reading frameshift mu...

description Among multiple distinct isoforms, Nrf1D is synthesized from a de novo translation of an alternatively-spliced transcript of Nrf1 mRNA, as accompanied by a naturally-occurring deletion of its stop codon-flanking 1466 nucleotides. This molecular event leads to the generation of a reading frameshift mutation, which results in a constitutive substitution of the intact Nrf1’s C-terminal 72 amino acids (aa, covering the second half of the leucine zipper motif to C-terminal Neh3L domain) by an additional extended 80-aa stretch to generate a unique variant Nrf1D. The C-terminal extra 80-aa region of Nrf1D was herein identified to be folded into a redox-sensitive transmembrane domain, enabling it to be tightly integrated within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. Notably, the salient feature of Nrf1D enables it to be distinguishable from prototypic Nrf1, such that Nrf1D is endowed with a lesser ability than wild-type Nrf1 to mediate target gene expression. Further evidence has also been presented revealing that both mRNA and protein levels of Nrf1D, together with other isoforms similar to those of Nrf1, were detected to varying extents in hemopoietic and somatic tissues. Surprisingly, we found the existence of Nrf1D-derived isoforms in blood plasma, implying that it is a candidate secretory transcription factor, albeit its precursor acts as an integral transmembrane-bound CNC-bZIP protein that entails dynamic topologies across membranes, before being unleashed from the ER to enter the blood.
