Bypassing a kinase activity with an ATP-competitive drugFeroz R Papa
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143 2200, USA
Science 302:1533-7. 2003..Thus, rather than through phosphorylation per se, a conformational change in the kinase domain triggered by occupancy of the active site with a ligand leads to activation of all known downstream functions...

A kinase inhibitor activates the IRE1alpha RNase to confer cytoprotection against ER stressDan Han
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143 2520, USA
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 365:777-83. 2008..Thus kinase inhibitors of IRE1alpha are useful for altering the apoptotic outcome to ER stress, and could possibly be developed into drugs to treat ER stress-related diseases...
IRE1alpha kinase activation modes control alternate endoribonuclease outputs to determine divergent cell fatesDan Han
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143 2520, USA
Cell 138:562-75. 2009..We propose that divergent cell fates during ER stress hinge on a balance between IRE1alpha RNase outputs that can be tilted with kinase inhibitors to favor survival...
Spontaneous development of endoplasmic reticulum stress that can lead to diabetes mellitus is associated with higher calcium-independent phospholipase A2 expression: a role for regulation by SREBP-1Xiaoyong Lei
Department of Medicine, Mass Spectrometry Resource, and Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Lipid Research, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Missouri 63110, USA
J Biol Chem 285:6693-705. 2010..Consistent with this, SREBP-1, iPLA(2)beta, and NSMase messages in Akita mouse islets are higher than in WT islets...

Mol Cell Biol 28:3943-51. 2008..Our work defines a novel signaling pathway that couples the ER and mitochondria and establishes a principal apoptotic effector downstream of ER stress...
Rationalizing translation attenuation in the network architecture of the unfolded protein responseAla Trusina
California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:20280-5. 2008..Low expression of PERK in nonsecretory cells, and its absence in yeast, can be rationalized by lower trafficking of secretory proteins through their ERs...
Real-time redox measurements during endoplasmic reticulum stress reveal interlinked protein folding functionsPhilip I Merksamer
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Cell 135:933-47. 2008..Using genetic analysis we uncovered redox heterogeneities in isogenic cell populations, and revealed functional interlinks between ER protein folding, modification, and quality control systems...
