Programmed cell death regulator BAP2 is required for IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response in Arabidopsis
Abstract THIN HAIR Environmental and physiological situations can challenge the balance between protein synthesis and folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cause ER stress, a potentially lethal condition.The unfolded protein response (UPR) restores ER homeostasis or actuates programmed cell death (PCD) when ER stress is unresolved.
