Facts about Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1.
Willing to detect various cellular stresses, such as cholesterol surplus, oxidative stress or proteasome inhibition (PubMed:20932482). In response to pressure, it is released from the endoplasmic reticulum membrane following cleavage by the protease DDI2 and translocates into the nucleus to form the transcription factor NRF1 (By similarity).

[Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type III membrane protein. In normal conditions, probably has a single-pass type II membrane protein topology, with the DNA-binding domain facing the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (PubMed:24448410). Following cellular stress, it is rapidly and efficiently retrotranslocated to the cytosolic side of the membrane, a process dependent on p97/VCP, to have a single-pass type III membrane protein topology with the major part of the protein fac
