ATF6 enables pathogen infection in ticks by inducing stomatin and altering cholesterol dynamics

Kaylee A. Vosbigian, Sarah J. Wright, Brianna P. Steiert, Kristin L. Rosche, Elis A. Fisk, Elisabeth Ramirez-Zepp, Jason M. Park, Eric A. Shelden, Dana K. Shaw

This study identifies ATF6 as a key factor in tick pathogen infection by regulating stomatin, which affects cholesterol dynamics and supports bacterial survival.
