Abstract excerpt
The unfolded protein response (UPR), caused by stress, matches the folding capacity of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the load of client proteins in the organelle. In yeast, processing of HAC1 mRNA by activated Ire1 leads to synthesis of the transcription factor Hac1 and activation of the UPR. The responses to activated IRE1 in metazoans are less well understood. Here we demonstrate that mutations in either ire-1...
