Cytomegalovirus downregulates IRE1 to repress the unfolded protein response. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
During viral infection, a massive demand for viral glycoproteins can overwhelm the capacity of the protein folding and quality control machinery, leading to an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To restore ER homeostasis,

The Unfolded Protein Response Pathway in the Yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. A Comparative View among Yeast Species

open access: yesCells, 2018
Eukaryotic cells have evolved signalling pathways that allow adaptation to harmful conditions that disrupt endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis.

Methods for Monitoring Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and the Unfolded Protein Response

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cell Biology, 2010
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of folding of membrane and secreted proteins in the cell. Physiological or pathological processes that disturb protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum cause ER stress and activate a set of signaling ...

A New Role for Estrogen Receptor α in Cell Proliferation and Cancer: Activating the Anticipatory Unfolded Protein Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Cells react to a variety of stresses, including accumulation of unfolded or misfolded protein, by activating the endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress sensor, the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Unfolding the role of stress response signaling in endocrine resistant breast cancers

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2015
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an ancient stress response that enables a cell to manage the energetic stress that accompanies protein folding.

Role of the Unfolded Protein Response in β Cell Compensation and Failure during Diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, 2014
Pancreatic β cell failure leads to diabetes development. During disease progression, β cells adapt their secretory capacity to compensate the elevated glycaemia and the peripheral insulin resistance.

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 ...

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.

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.
