Signal transduction by IRE1‐mediated splicing of <i>bZIP50</i> and other stress sensors in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response of rice
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensor IRE1 transduces signals by inducing the unconventional splicing of mRNAs encoding key transcription factors: HAC1 in yeast and XBP1 in animals. However, no HAC1 or XBP1 homologues have been found in plants, and until recently the substrate for plant IRE1 has remained unknown. This study demonstrates that the Oryza sativa (rice) OsbZIP50 transcription factor, an...
