TLDR
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.Abstract:
Protein synthesis and the folding of the newly synthesized proteins into the correct three-dimensional structure are coupled in cellular compartments of the exocytosis pathway by a process that modulates the phosphorylation level of eukaryotic initiation factor-2alpha (eIF2alpha) in response to a stress signal from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Activation of this process leads to reduced rates of initiation of protein translation during ER stress. Here we describe the cloning of perk, a gene encoding a type I transmembrane ER-resident protein. PERK has a lumenal domain that is similar to the ER-stress-sensing lumenal domain of the ER-resident kinase Ire1, and a cytoplasmic portion that contains a protein-kinase domain most similar to that of the known eIF2alpha kinases, PKR and HRI. ER stress increases PERK's protein-kinase activity and PERK phosphorylates eIF2alpha on serine residue 51, inhibiting translation of messenger RNA into protein. These properties implicate PERK in a signalling pathway that attenuates protein translation in response to ER stress.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that IRE1alpha and X BP1 are highly expressed and that patients with low XBP1s/u ratios have a significantly better overall survival, and the beneficial therapeutic effects of thalidomide in patients withLow XBP 1s/U ratios are shown.

Jesse Bakke,Fawaz G. Haj +1 more
TL;DR: Insulin and leptin signaling are discussed as well as recently identified PTP1B substrates that are involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress response, cell-cell communication, energy balance and vesicle trafficking, which show exquisite substrate specificity.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that all major ER stress sensing and signaling mechanisms are present in exocrine acini and are activated early in the arginine model of experimental acute pancreatitis.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress increases myofiber formation in vitro
TL;DR: Observations suggest that ER stress exerts a positive effect on myofiber formation, possibly mimicking the action of signals that drive apoptosis and differentiation in vivo.

Oligomerization and phosphorylation of the Ire1p kinase during intracellular signaling from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus.
Caroline E. Shamu,Peter Walter +1 more
TL;DR: Molecular genetic and biochemical studies described here suggest that, as in the case of growth factor receptors of higher eukaryotic cells, Ire1p oligomerizes in response to the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER and is phosphorylated in trans by otherIre1p molecules as a result of oligomerization.

Protein folding in the cell.
TL;DR: Folding and assembly of polypeptides in vivo involves other proteins, many of which belong to families that have been highly conserved during evolution.

The presence of malfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum signals the induction of glucose-regulated proteins
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that the presence of malfolded proteins may be the primary signal for induction of GRPs by expressing wild-type and mutant forms of influenza virus haemagglutinin in simian cells shows that malfoldingper se, rather than abnormal glycosylation1, is the proximal inducer of this family of stress proteins.

Transcriptional induction of genes encoding endoplasmic reticulum resident proteins requires a transmembrane protein kinase
TL;DR: IRE1 encodes a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase that it is proposed transmits the unfolded protein signal across the ER or inner nuclear membrane, suggesting that the induction of ER resident proteins is coupled to the biogenesis of new ER membrane.

TL;DR: HIre1p is an essential proximal sensor of the unfolded protein response pathway in mammalian cells and is demonstrated to be highly conserved to the yeast counterpart having a Ser/Thr protein kinase domain and a domain homologous to RNase L.
