Unfolded Protein Responses With or Without Unfolded Proteins? [PDF]
Cells, 2012 The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of secretory protein biogenesis. The ER quality control (QC) machinery, including chaperones, ensures the correct folding of secretory proteins. Mutant proteins and environmental stresses can overwhelm the available QC machinery.

Unfolded Protein Response and Cancer [PDF]
Discoveries, 2014 Physiological stresses, such as hypoxia and oxidative stress, induce protein misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If proteasome degradation fails to remove the misfolded proteins, these proteins accumulate in the ER, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Tidy up - The unfolded protein response in sepsis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Pathogens, their toxic byproducts, and the subsequent immune reaction exert different forms of stress and damage to the tissue of the infected host. This stress can trigger specific transcriptional and post-transcriptional programs that have evolved to ...

Unpacking the Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]
Cell, 2014 This year, the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award will be shared by Peter Walter and Kazutoshi Mori for discoveries revealing the molecular mechanism of the unfolded protein response, an intracellular quality control system that detects harmful misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and then signals the nucleus to carry out corrective ...

eLife, 2015 Eukaryotic cells possess a variety of signaling pathways that prevent accumulation of unfolded and misfolded proteins. Chief among these is the heat shock response (HSR), which is assumed to respond to unfolded proteins in the cytosol and nucleus alike ...

Brucella abortus Infection of Placental Trophoblasts Triggers Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Mediated Cell Death and Fetal Loss via Type IV Secretion System-Dependent Activation of CHOP. [PDF]
, 2019 Subversion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function is a feature shared by multiple intracellular bacteria and viruses, and in many cases this disruption of cellular function activates pathways of the unfolded protein response (UPR).

StresSeed: The Unfolded Protein Response During Seed Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 During seed development, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) takes care of the synthesis and structural maturation of very high amounts of storage proteins in a relatively short time.

The Unfolded Protein Response and its potential role in Huntington's disease [PDF]
, 2012 Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease with fatal outcome. Although the disease-causing gene (huntingtin) has been known for some time, the exact cause of neuronal cell death is still unknown.

Mechanisms of selenomethionine developmental toxicity and the impacts of combined hypersaline conditions on Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). [PDF]
, 2014 Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that can cause embryotoxicty at levels 7-30 times above essential concentrations. Exposure to hypersaline conditions and 50 μM selenomethionine (SeMet) decreased embryo hatch and depleted glutathione in ...
