New twists in the unfolded protein response
The response of S. pombe, also known as fission yeast, to misfolded proteins involves mechanisms that have not been observed in other species.

The unfolded protein response in multiple sclerosis
The unfolded protein response (UPR) occurs in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER.

Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis, DNAJB9, and the Unfolded Protein Response
Background: Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is found in approximately 1% of native kidney biopsies and was traditionally defined by glomerular deposition of fibrils larger than amyloid (12–24 nm diameter) composed of polyclonal IgG.

Inhibition of IRE1α-mediated XBP1 mRNA cleavage by XBP1 reveals a novel regulatory process during the unfolded protein response [PDF]
Background: The mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER) continuously adapts to the cellular secretory load by the activation of an unfolded protein response (UPR).

A conformational RNA zipper promotes intron ejection during non-conventional XBP1 mRNA splicing. [PDF]
The kinase/endonuclease IRE1 is the most conserved signal transducer of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling network that monitors and regulates the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Ethanol Induced Disordering of Pancreatic Acinar Cell Endoplasmic Reticulum: An ER Stress/Defective Unfolded Protein Response Model. [PDF]
Background & aimsHeavy alcohol drinking is associated with pancreatitis, whereas moderate intake lowers the risk. Mice fed ethanol long term show no pancreas damage unless adaptive/protective responses mediating proteostasis are disrupted. Pancreatic

Unfolded Protein Response and Macroautophagy in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Prion Diseases
Proteostasis are integrated biological pathways within cells that control synthesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins. The absence of cell division makes brain proteostasis susceptible to age-related changes and neurodegeneration. Two key
