Abstract excerpt
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), an endoplasmic reticulum-resident sensor for mammalian unfolded protein response, is a bifunctional enzyme containing kinase and RNase domains critical for trans-autophosphorylation and Xbp1 mRNA splicing, respectively, in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, the amino acid residues important for its function and activation remain largely unexplored. Here,...
