Intracellular signaling by the unfolded protein response

open access: yes, 2020
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an intracellular signaling pathway that is activated by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Systemic signaling contributes to the unfolded protein response of the plant endoplasmic reticulum

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains cellular function under ER stress. While typically considered cell autonomous, here Lai et al. show that in Arabidopsis the UPR also has a systemic component triggered by intercellular movement of at least ...

Systematic Comparison of High‐Fat Diet– and Streptozotocin‐Induced Prediabetic Obese C57BL/6J Mouse Models: A Sex‐Based Protocol Optimization Study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Animal models of prediabetes (Pre‐DM) are essential for studying metabolic disease and testing therapies, yet high‐fat diet (HFD) and HFD‐plus‐streptozotocin (STZ) protocols vary in feeding duration, STZ dose, and diagnostic criteria and rarely account for sex.

Identification of novel components of the Unfolded Protein Response in Arabidopsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Unfavorable environmental and developmental conditions may cause disturbances in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that are recognized and counteracted by components of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) signaling pathways.

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the misfolding mechanisms of secretion‐defective pancreatic lipase variants

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

Unfolded protein response suppresses CEBPA by induction of calreticulin in acute myeloid leukaemia

open access: yes, 2010
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is triggered by the accumulation of misfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The role of the UPR during leukemogenesis is unknown so far.

Functional and transcriptomic analyses in Neurospora crassa reveal a crucial role for the N‐glycoprotein deglycosylation process in fungal homeostasis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Neurospora crassa, a cytosolic GH18 endo‐β‐n‐acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) functions as an active deglycosylating enzyme. Deletion of this severely alters tolerance to multiple stress conditions and causes extensive transcriptomic reprogramming, including upregulation of a GH20 exo‐β‐n‐acetylhexosaminidase under ER stress, indicating that N. crassa

PERK and filamin A in actin cytoskeleton remodeling at ER-plasma membrane contact sites

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensor protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) plays a major role during the unfolded protein response (UPR), mainly through eIF2α phosphorylation.

Ricin-A-chain (RTA) inhibits the unfolded protein response (UPR) in mammalian cells

open access: yes, 2010
Ricin, a type II ribosome-inactivating protein, has been used as a biochemical weapon due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis and induce cytotoxicity.
