Abstract excerpt
Insulin gene (INS) variation and beta-cell stress are associated with the risk of development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmunity against insulin. The unfolded protein response alleviating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress involves activation of inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) that impedes translation by mRNA decay. We discover that the IRE1α digestion motif is present in insulin mRNA carrying SNP...
