Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, three proteins--PERK, IRE1alpha, and ATF6alpha--sense protein-misfolding stress in the ER and initiate ER-to-nucleus signaling cascades to improve cellular function. The mechanism by which this unfolded protein response (UPR) protects ER function during stress is not clear. To add...
