XBP1 mRNA Is Induced by ATF6 and Spliced by IRE1 in Response to ER Stress to Produce a Highly Active Transcription Factor

TL;DR: The transcription factor XBP1, a target of ATF6, is identified as a mammalian substrate of such an unconventional mRNA splicing system and it is shown that only the spliced form of X BP1 can activate the UPR efficiently.

Protein translation and folding are coupled by an endoplasmic-reticulum-resident kinase

TL;DR: The cloning of perk is described, a gene encoding a type I transmembrane ER-resident protein that contains a protein-kinase domain most similar to that of the known eIF2α kinases, PKR and HRI that implicate PERK in a signalling pathway that attenuates protein translation in response to ER stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of mRNA Translation and Stability by microRNAs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe principles of miRNA-mRNA interactions and proteins that interact with miRNAs and function in miRNA mediated repression, and discuss the multiple, often contradictory, mechanisms that miRNA have been reported to use, which cause translational repression and mRNA decay.
Journal ArticleDOI

IRE1 couples endoplasmic reticulum load to secretory capacity by processing the XBP-1 mRNA

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mutations in either ire-1 or the transcription-factor-encoding xbp-1 gene abolished the UPR in Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting that physiological ER load regulates a developmental decision in higher eukaryotes.

Thioredoxin-interacting protein links oxidative stress to inflammasome activation

TL;DR: The participation of TXNIP in the NLRP3 inflammasome activation may provide a mechanistic link to the observed involvement of IL-1β in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.
