Direct association of unfolded proteins with mammalian ER stress sensor, IRE1β.

IRE1, an ER-localized transmembrane protein, plays a central role in the unfolded protein response (UPR). IRE1 senses the accumulation of unfolded proteins in its luminal domain and transmits a signal to the cytosolic side through its kinase and RNase domains. Although the downstream pathways mediat...
