Function
Ire1 or serine/threonine protein kinase/endoribonuclease Ire1. It is important in altering gene expression as a response to endoplasmic reticulum-based stress signals[1]. The endoribonuclase domain of Ire1 is a transcriptional activator which triggers growth arrest and apoptosis. The kinase domain of Ire1 is required for activation of the endoribonuclase domain. Ire1 senses unfolded proteins causing its auto-activation.
Structural highlights
Yeast Ire1 structure contains 3 phosphorylated residues: . Ire1 shows a different and for quercetin. Quercetin is a powerful activator of Ire1. [2].
