DER1 | Degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum protein 1; ER membrane protein that promotes export of misfolded polypeptides; required for ER-associated protein degradation of misfolded or unassembled proteins; initiates export of aberrant polypeptides from ER lumen by threading them into ER membrane and routing them to Hrd1p for ubiquitination; function normally requires N-terminal acetylation by NatB; N- and C- termini protrude into cytoplasm; similar to Dfm1p; homolog of mammalian derlin-1. (211 aa) | ||||
GCN4 | General control protein GCN4; bZIP transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes; activator responds to amino acid starvation; expression is tightly regulated at both the transcriptional and translational levels; Belongs to the bZIP family. GCN4 subfamily. (281 aa) | ||||
IRE1 | Serine/threonine-protein kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1; Serine-threonine kinase and endoribonuclease; transmembrane protein that mediates the unfolded protein response (UPR) by regulating Hac1p synthesis through HAC1 mRNA splicing; role in homeostatic adaptation to ER stress; Kar2p binds inactive Ire1p and releases from it upon ER stress. (1115 aa) | ||||
KAR2 | Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP; ATPase involved in protein import into the ER; also acts as a chaperone to mediate protein folding in the ER and may play a role in ER export of soluble proteins; regulates the unfolded protein response via interaction with Ire1p. (682 aa) |
