The preemptive quality control (pQC) pathway participates in the unfolded protein response regulating ER homeostasis, yet many components are not known. The role of p97 and its adaptor, AIRAPL, in proteasomal processing of pQC substrates is shown, and an insulin-processing mutant (R6C) is identified as a pQC substrate.
Background: Molecular mechanisms explaining stress-induced leaky scanning translation initiation regulation are poorly understood. Results: We demonstrate this relation and identify a post-translational modification on eIF1 that is stress responsive. Conclusion: Leaky scanning mediated by eIF1 phosphorylation is a stress-regulated process. Significance: Stress-induced global translation initiation can be regulated by means of leaky scanning as well as re-initiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
