Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 1 (UniProt: Q96BA8; also known as cAMP-responsive element-binding protein 3-like protein 1, Old astrocyte specifically-induced substance, OASIS) is encoded by the CREB3L1 (also known as OASIS, PSEC0238) gene (Gene ID: 90993) in human. OASIS is a single-pass type II membrane protein that serves as a transcription factor and is involved in unfolded protein response (UPR). It binds the DNA consensus sequence 5'-GTGXGCXGC-3'. It has a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1-374), a helical domain (aa 375-395), and a luminal domain (aa 396-519). In the absence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, it is inserted into ER membranes, with N-terminal DNA-binding and transcription activation domains oriented toward the cytosolic face of the membrane. However, in response to ER stress, it is transported to the Golgi, where it is cleaved in a site-specific manner by resident proteases S1P/MBTPS1 and S2P/MBTPS2. The released N-terminal cytosolic domain is translocated to the nucleus to effect transcription of specific target genes. OASIS also plays a critical role in bone formation through the transcription of COL1A1, and possibly COL1A2, and the secretion of bone matrix proteins. It directly binds to the UPR element (UPRE)-like sequence in an osteoblast-specific COL1A1 promoter region and induces its transcription. OASIS is also required to protect astrocytes from ER stress-induced cell death. In astrocytes, it binds to the cAMP response element (CRE) of the BiP/HSPA5 promoter and participate in its transcriptional activation. Mutations in CREB3L1 gene are reported to cause osteogenesis imperfecta, a connective tissue disorder characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma.
