Abstract excerpt
Active repression of protein synthesis protects cells against protein malfolding during endoplasmic reticulum stress, nutrient deprivation and oxidative stress. However, long-term adaptation to these conditions requires synthesis of new stress-induced proteins. Phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha) represses translation in diverse stressful conditions. GADD34 is a...
