New twists in the unfolded protein response

Elife. 2012 Oct 15:1:e00243. doi: 10.7554/eLife.00243.

Abstract

The response of S. pombe, also known as fission yeast, to misfolded proteins involves mechanisms that have not been observed in other species.

Keywords: Bip1 mRNA stabilization; ER homeostasis; Ire1; Unfolded Protein Response; selective mRNA decay.
