Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes an imbalance of proteostasis and is related to many pathological conditions. In answer to this ER stress cells activate a network of three integrated signaling pathways consolidated as the unfolded protein response of the ER (UPR(ER)), which is also present in the stress-sensitive Caenorhabditis elegans mutant mev-1. Whereas inhibition...
