Both transcriptional regulation and translational control of ATF4 are central to the integrated stress response.

TLDR
This study addressed the underlying mechanism for variable expression of ATF4 in response to eIF2∼P during different stress conditions and the biological significance of omission of enhanced ATF4 function, and showed that in addition to translational control, ATF4 expression is subject to transcriptional regulation.

The integrated stress response.

TL;DR: Current understanding of the ISR signaling is reviewed and how it regulates cell fate under diverse types of stress is reviewed.

The eIF2α kinases: their structures and functions

TL;DR: While significant sequence similarity exists between the eIF2α kinases in their kinase domains, underlying their common role in phosphorylating eif2α, additional unique features determine the regulation of these four proteins, that is, what signals activate them.

The Role of the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP Signaling Pathway in Tumor Progression During Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

TL;DR: Advancing molecular insight into the transition of tumor cells from adaptation to apoptosis under hypoxia-induced ER stress may provide answers on how to overcome the limitations of current anti-tumor therapies.

miR-214 targets ATF4 to inhibit bone formation

TL;DR: Elevated miR-214 levels correlated with a lower degree of bone formation in bone specimens from aged patients with fractures, and in vitro osteoblast activity and matrix mineralization were promoted by antagomir-214 and decreased by agomIR-214, and mi R-214 directly targeted ATF4 to inhibit osteoblasts activity.

Signal integration in the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response

TL;DR: Together, at least three mechanistically distinct arms of the UPR regulate the expression of numerous genes that function within the secretory pathway but also affect broad aspects of cell fate and the metabolism of proteins, amino acids and lipids.

Regulated Translation Initiation Controls Stress-Induced Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells

TL;DR: Protein kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha) are activated in stressed cells and negatively regulate protein synthesis, resulting in the induction of the downstream gene CHOP (GADD153).

An Integrated Stress Response Regulates Amino Acid Metabolism and Resistance to Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: A signaling pathway initiated by eIF2alpha phosphorylation protects cells against metabolic consequences of ER oxidation by promoting the linked processes of amino acid sufficiency and resistance to oxidative stress.

Regulation of Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes: Mechanisms and Biological Targets

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the molecular structures and biochemical functions of the translation initiation machinery are described and key strategies that mediate general or gene-specific translational control are summarized, particularly in mammalian systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mammalian unfolded protein response

TL;DR: In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), secretory and transmembrane proteins fold into their native conformation and undergo posttranslational modifications important for their activity and structure as mentioned in this paper.
