Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) is an essential factor for the initiation of protein synthesis. Mutations in eIF2B encoded by EIF2B1-5 cause a lethal leukoencephalopathy--vanishing white matter disease (VWM). Previous studies have suggested that an improper activated unfolded protein response (UPR) after endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) contributed to the pathogenesis of the...
