Subcellular location [CC][Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16687406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24998528};
Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20932482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16687406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24998528};
Single-pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20932482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410}. Note=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 facing the cytosol (PubMed:24448410). Retrotranslocated proteins are normally rapidly degraded by the proteasome and active species do not accumulate (PubMed:24448410). However, retrotranslocated protein NFE2L1 escapes degradation and is cleaved at Leu-104 by DDI2, releasing the protein from the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and forming the transcription factor NRF1 that translocates into the nucleus (PubMed:24448410). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410}.;

Note=Translocates into the nucleus following cleavage of Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1 by aspartyl protease DDI2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24448410, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27528193}.
