“…The inactivation of eIF2α is caused by the a single phosphorylation event on Ser 51, which is catalysed by 4 kinases (GCN2, HRI, PERK and PKR) (Koncha et al, 2021). General control non-derepressible-2 (GCN2) was shown to be activated by amino acid starvation or UV irradiation (Dokladal et al, 2021, Jiang and Wek, 2005, Sood et al, 2000), while heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI) activated in response to heme deprivation, oxidative and mitochondrial stress (Chen and London, 1995, Fessler et al, 2020, Guo et al, 2020, Ranu and London, 1979, Zhang et al, 2018), whereas PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) is activated in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress or UV irradiation (Popovic et al, 2021, Wu et al, 2002, Harding et al, 2000b).…”
