IRE1 and efferent signaling from the endoplasmic reticulum
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of the cellular adaptation to malfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (the unfolded protein response - UPR) has revealed a novel signaling pathway initiated by activation of IRE1, an ER-resident protein kinase and endonuclease. In yeast, Ire1p activates gene expression by promoting a non-conventional splicing event that converts the mRNA encoding the Hac1p transcription factor from an...
