Resumen
La respuesta proteica desplegada (UPR) en eucariotas superiores está regulada por el empalme dependiente de IRE1 del ARNm XBP-1. Este proceso es crucial para la adaptación celular al estrés del retículo endoplasmático.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- La respuesta proteica desplegada (UPR) mantiene la homeostasis del retículo endoplasmático (ER) mediante la modulación de la capacidad de plegamiento de las proteínas.
- En la levadura, la UPR se activa mediante el procesamiento mediado por IRE1 del ARNm HAC1, lo que lleva a la síntesis del factor de transcripción Hac1.
- Las vías de señalización de IRE1 en metazoos son menos conocidas, particularmente con respecto a su papel en la activación de la UPR.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de IRE1 y XBP-1 en el UPR en metazoos.
- Para dilucidar el mecanismo de la activación del ARNm XBP-1 por IRE1.1.
- Comprender la importancia fisiológica de la regulación de la carga ER en los eucariotas superiores.
Principales métodos:
- Estudios de nocaut genético en Caenorhabditis elegans (mutaciones de ire-1 y xbp-1).
- Análisis del empalme del ARNm XBP-1 en respuesta a la activación de la UPR en C. elegans y ratones.
- Ensayos de escisión in vitro utilizando ARNm IRE1 y XBP-1 de ratón purificado.
Principales resultados:
- Las mutaciones en ire-1 o xbp-1 abolieron la UPR en C. elegans.
- La activación de la UPR tanto en C. elegans como en ratones indujo el empalme dependiente de IRE1 del ARNm XBP-1.
- La acumulación de proteína XBP-1 se observó solo a partir del ARNm empalmado durante la UPR.
- El ratón IRE1 cortó directamente el ARNm XBP-1 in vitro, identificándolo como un objetivo directo.
Conclusiones:
- El empalme del ARNm XBP-1 por IRE1 es un mecanismo conservado para la activación de la UPR en metazoos.
- Esta vía es esencial para las funciones especializadas de las células secretoras, como la secreción de inmunoglobulina.
- La carga fisiológica de ER influye en las decisiones de desarrollo en eucariotas superiores a través de este mecanismo regulador.

01:17Role of ER in the Secretory Pathway
Eukaryotic cells have a special pathway that enables communication between various intracellular membrane-bound compartments and also with the extracellular environment. This pathway is termed as the secretory pathway.
Components of the secretory pathway
About a third of proteins synthesized in the cell are sorted via the secretory route. They shuffle between different compartments in membrane-bound vesicles until they reach their final destination. The main intracellular compartments involved...

01:45ER Retrieval Pathway
In the secretory pathway, vesicles transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another in forward transport to deliver the protein to its correct location. Occasionally, misfolded proteins and incorrect proteins escape their original compartments, and a retrieval pathway is used to return the escaped proteins to their original compartment.
The ER uses many checkpoints to prevent the entry of incorrectly folded or a resident protein as cargo onto a transport vesicle. These mechanisms...

01:34Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...
01:27Post-translational Translocation of Proteins to the RER
A sizable fraction of proteins destined for ER are first synthesized in the cell cytosol and then transported across the ER membrane–a process called post-translational translocation. Similar to cotranslationally translocated proteins, these proteins also use the Sec translocon complex to enter the ER lumen.
Targeting proteins to the ER
Hsp40 and Hsp70 chaperone molecules bind the translated proteins in the cytosol to prevent their folding. The chaperone binding helps to keep the signal...

01:32Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER
After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...
01:31Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...
