Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein kinase PERK attenuates protein synthesis in response to ER stress through the phosphorylation of translation initiation factor eIF2alpha at serine 51. ER stress induces PERK autophosphorylation at several serine/threonine residues, a process that is required for kinase activation and phosphorylation of eIF2alpha. Herein, we demonstrate that PERK also possesses...
